So it's not 1 to 1 what I was told but the thing is.
Our company is doing it's year recap party and I said I'm not going this time(I went to all the rest)
The party is 1h drive(they offer us busses) and it's pretty much until the night plus we got work the day after.
I told my boss I don't want to go because its pretty much will mean I get home really late and I get car sickness if I'm not driving.
And he told me “the CEO is organizing this party and you should show up as a sign of respect to him and it's only ones a year so you should be fine”.
I'm still not going but now after he said it I really don't want to go.
Not to go into much detail but ever since our new CEO got in we had none stop work to the point that people's want to quit and getting burnet out and all we hear is “we understand work is hard but don't worry we are working on it”.
