Hello, I work at this wedding chapel that employs a lot of people. I’ve been only working there since July and I like the job. It’s good money, with hourly pay, commissions and tips.
There’s several department on the company and I work at the media department. On top of other events that the company organize, such as food drive, Halloween trunk or treat and this upcoming Gala where they “celebrate” rockstars (us).
First off, I don’t really try to make friends at work. Sure, I’ll get a couple drinks or smoke a joint with some but what’s about it. I’m not like anti social or mean to everyone but I try keep my personal life and my work life separate to avoid any drama. Like for example, there’s this one guy at work who keeps inviting me to group hangouts after work and I keep saying no or it depends how I feel later in the day, I’ll go. He invited me once for his birthday and I didn’t go to his party. He then have blocked me on social media and have been ignoring specifically me at work even other people didn’t go. I barely even know this asshole and I’ve only been with the company for 2 months at the time.
I just don’t feel right about, “building camaraderie” at work setting. Especially when I know damn well I’m expendable. How do I put into words that I do not like it when work hold these team building events because it could be used e as a leverage to get more out of you since you guys are “family”.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
