As part of a reshuffle in the company I work for the way the teams were structured was reshuffled.
Just had a meeting detailing the new structure and they then went on to talk about the “Social Contract” which proceeded to have all these dickheads going “OMG, yes, we need to come into the office more! We also need to have a social day, and a team lunch every other week, and a team building day, and a charity day and a social contract meeting every quarter!”
Don't get me wrong, I'm not an asshole or anything. I'm polite, but I don't have anything in common with these people and have no desire to be bullied into awkward social interactions with them. I have my own life and take care of my own social life (which is overbooked ATM).
I just want people to fuck off an leave me alone. I do my job, I even keep social contact with the rest of my team and come out for the odd event. Why do we suddenly need to ratchet up the facetime? Why do we need to do a cringe ass charity day for no reason other than to spend a day picking up rubbish (it's so the company gets good marketing and for bog standard middle class performative “yay I did a good thing” points, because if they actually gave a shit we could just donate money to whatever bullshit it is or, y'know, campaign to reform our government to fix the problem at its source.)
Sorry, this is getting a bit unhinged. Something about this really pisses me off and I'm wondering if there's any other people here who can empathise?
