023: forced socialization... which i am happy to attend.
i will be voluntarily attending a work function on a Saturday.
why?
because my employer has nothing to do it with. it has been organized by the vendor/contractor we have worked with for the past 5 years to celebrate the end of the project.
southern bbq. cash bar with 2 free complimentary drink tickets. planned activities. they are even flying in their employees who moved on to other sites but at some point in time worked on this project.
now if my employer was organizing this, like the Thanksgiving luncheon that will be held within the office and is basically a potluck, i would not be attending... just like i don't plan to attend that luncheon.
