Hey Gents,
Anyone else dislike when there are social events at work? I tend to not go to these because, quite frankly, they are forced and take up time I could be spending getting work done. My boss made this morning's social event mandatory by calling it a "staff meeting". Here is what was on the docket: Group singing, trust exercises, and storytelling. I'm not anti-social by any means, but work is for work, and I do not care to listen to a science teacher play his acoustic guitar while singing "Wonderwall". I am just getting out of college, I thought being forced to listen to people sing cliche songs while playing the same 3 chords was over.
