Reason number 99 on why I hate work “parties”..

Around the holidays, my boss schedules a mandatory “party” for all the staff members. This past holiday party, however, was one for the book of absolute shame. Now, this wasn’t your average party, oh no. It was study group time by splitting off into “teams”, going over new but subtle changes. That was just the beginning, it only gets worse from here. After going over changes, we saw that “activity stations” were set up for our groups to do. Great, we get paid shit for the costumers we have to call and deal with everyday. We can barely feed ourselves while also putting a roof over our heads and our party activities consist of paper plate painting, a knowledge quiz, and leftover pizza from the break room. What baffles me the most was the quiz considering everyone has a different job and all questions on the quiz were the same…

What baffles me the most was the quiz considering everyone has a different job and all questions on the quiz were the same for everyone. There was forty questions on the quiz and only two people got satisfactory grades. The prize? $10 credit to our office vending machines. Talk about a wild party.
