I'm being forced to go down to another state about 3 hours~4 hours away driving to go listen to how the budget and incomes varied from last year, like I'm some sort of stockholder.
I'm a technician who repairs printers and copiers. I don't care. I don't want to be forced to see the company's profits and then turn around and deny our raises, or to match inflation rates.
I have to drive on Saturday to another state to go to the meeting for at least 2 to 3 hrs then a 'break” and have to go back for a banquet as a “thank you” with the intention of us staying in a hotel room nearby to stay the night…they said they are doing the meeting this weekend as the company is closed on Monday (but guess who's working the emergency cover)…..I.mentioned I'd rather have the cost of my gas, my hotel room, and dinner cost be added to my base salary instead, got a good laugh….
it's a multiple branch/state company, there's no control on who you will get matched with in the hotel as they are only allowing married couples to come.
I've been told I'll be fired if I don't go.
I'm going to try and just be seen at the meeting and get lost and leave.
