Disclaimer: Probably a rant. Let me give you some context. I am an ambivert, I don't like interacting with new people. I have been working from home since the pandemic.
Last day I, along with 20 other people was asked if they can come together on a weekend to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of a project(who does that) that I too was working on One guy said he is busy and might not come. The organizer started to plead with him to go to the event, on the call, a conference call. And since I don't like the attention I didn't say I won't be going to that event either.
I understand from an organizer point of view, you have to show the maximum amount of people. But consider this, it's a freaking weekend. It should be a time to unwind from work and find some comfort of their own liking.
Thank you for attending my Ted Rant. Have a nice day
Team building activities should definitely be done on working days and most preferably within working hours.
Aty company it's always done on weekends. Stopped going to it after my second year of corporate life. They don't even count me anymore for such activities.
I understand the point but in most companies have a section for interpersonal skills as part of the year end review. People who aren't participating in team or organisation events are considered as not a team player and it ends up impacting the rating and increments.
At my employer they expect us to take part in some shity events like debate, dance or song competition just like CCA in schools and that is counted as team player or leader ship skills..
If you don't participate apparently your rating and increments would be less. 😐
Lmao I rather quit
Why are you with such a dumb employer. You know you gotta leave when your promotion as a software architect is based on how well you can dance and entertain.
Take a step by suggesting to keep that on workdays. The event will be cancelled in no time.
The project I am in right now sucks. It ends a month from now but the managers are very annoying. There is this one guy who cannot shut up and keeps telling you what to do and I really cannot focus or work with him. I'm just angry most o...
Every Employee in a company has his own Personal Priorities in his life. Not everyone will be there for your Shitty Event. Why don't they understand Bruhh.
I am saying on behalf of some people. One guy was already in his Hometown and th...
Nothing against those who love them. It's just that I would rather like to spend the time with my plans. But often, you don't always have a choice.
People drinking every quarter in the name of team bonding :D. how wrong can it be
With so many zoom meetings where someone just wants to toot their own horn to monotonous town halls, how the hell am I supposed to get any actual work done? So much talk about doing the work but no actual time to do it!
It can be either a strange workplace policy, an altercation with a manager or absolutely anything else.
