I'm glad I don't have to do work parties, would be very annoyed to have to hang out with work people without being paid for it.

Funnily enough, being asked to ride in on the bike in the snow/ice to babysit christmas gigs, all while knocking back my leave request (by managers sitting at home all week) was the straw that broke the Camels back for me and led to my resignation earlier in the week. Plus the people I worked with were utter cunts save for a handful.

If shipping wasn't such a clusterfuck of expenses and red tape I'd just start an amazon arbitrage operation. Alas, Brexit hosed all that too. I have other business ideas, but ofcourse not enough capital because this place is a loving leach.

Yeah we had a contingent who you could head down the local after work and there'd nearly always be someone there any day of the week. Hell sometimes the hardest question we'd face on a given day was which one to head to. The one next door, the one round the corner one way or the one round the corner the other then one of us started dating the manager at the other one round the corner and it basically became our fiefdom

Most workplaces with more than 5 people should have a few sound cunts, a few tedious cunts, and a few poo poo cunts, in various ratios. It's easy to just hang out with the sound cunts (unless you're one of the other type of cunts)

Rarity posted:Just had our works do last night, by the end of the night they were just giving out free drinks tokens like candy. Pretty sure I only spent 10 quid the whole night Ours was last Sat and the drinks were free, but i'm such a lightweight after lockdown I got hammered on 2 Hoxton Pink Gins and couldn't really take advantage. Hoxton Pink Gin is very very nice though.

Eh, I guess I have to spend all day being personable so by the time that is done I am not generally in the mood to do it any more unless I really like the person I'm doing it with. E: plus the general trend of "learning more about my co workers" has been "unsolicited opinions on how nigel farage has the right idea and did you hear about the family of asians trying to buy my house too cheap" OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Dec 17, 2022 |

Nothingtoseehere posted:Yea it's great. My workload in a charity is being expected to turn out a full week's work on less than 50% paid hours and getting 'disappointed' emails from my line manager when the thing she wanted me to do (move £30 from going to one project to another because someone changed their sponsorship) wasn't done because hello I prioritized doing the biggie gift aid claim with HMRC worth considerably more than £30 and to get it into this year's accounts! She said 'it's not onerous'. No, the thing she wanted me to do is not of itself onerous, but it would severely interrupt my work flow and there are too many 'not onerous' fiddly bits and pieces that I try and batch up and was saving for Xmas/New Year week when I'm the only one not on leave. Btw she doesn't know how to do the thing herself so she doesn't actually really know how onerous it might or might not be. I'm bloody good at my job and am entirely self-taught on xero / salesforce (sys admin!)/ wordpress / css etc and they're bloody lucky to get it all in a one-person 'admin job' package, but she makes me feel like I'm crap. I must put some serious effort in to finding a new job next year though being a non-driver and over 60 it'll be harder than for the spring chicken Gen Zers around here.

I hope you don't think my post was meant as a slight against you, if you don't fancy a Christmas do I don't see why you should go we all have our own levels of public interaction. Usually things I find out are less about politics and more about people's recipes or some talent for something they've never talked about or even some interesting event from their personal history.

Well me and girlfriend are both now quadruple vaccinated. Quite nice actually.  Took the advice of some folks itt and found a walk in centre on the NHS website, walked in and told them I'll be spending a whole bunch of time over Christmas & new year with my mom who is not exactly young and who also has some respiratory issues (all true btw). They just gave me the fourth dose without trying to be difficult about whether I'll be a carer for her (I won't) or whatever. In theory "visiting an old" doesn't seem to be a valid reason on the website but they didn't mind. Today walked into another walk in centre with the girlfriend and she just told them we'll both be spending time with my mom who's old etc (still true) and they gave her the fourth vaccine too. Everyone was very nice and both times it took literally less than five minutes.

My colleagues are all pretty cool. Its quite funny to see the split between HR/recruitment/finance, services/IT/maintenance, development and management at the parties though. Like four entirely different groups all who want to be each other and/or hate each other to different degrees. That and poo poo, loud 90s music so loud I ended up gathering a small group of similsrly distressed neurodivergent folks and made our own quiet party in the corridor. Which was very chill and nice. Til they turfed us all out into -5 and turned the lights off.

Going to my office on Tuesday for the first time in more than a year. Being fully remote I don't even know if there's going to be a christmas party. There are monthly drinks after work in the office, but I've never been.

I am sick of loud banging noises, play something traditional like them marching bands with the big man at the end with a big drum on his belly and the man with the two big cymbals.
