I am a full time high school teacher. This summer a family member of mine who works for a corp. staffing office asked if I would like to come work in the office 2x a week for extra money which I was happy to do as I am saving for a house with my husband. I basically do clerical work, along with other tasks around the office. The officer I work for is the main corp office for a large company, and my family member is the exec asst to the CEO. So I met all the higher ups this summer, all very nice, the overall company vibe was pretty decent. My family member has been there 3 years and always raves about how generous the boss is, how he gives great bonuses and he flies everyone in the company to a vacation 2x a year.
So when back to school hit, they asked if I wanted to continue to do the clerical work on a remote part time basis which I was worried about being able to handle with being in school but I said I would try it. I have continued to do the work (along with another teacher) and it amounts to 15-25 hours a week for me. So it’s a pretty hefty part time job.
Obviously I have a company email. I asked to be taken off the “everyone” handle several times because it’s emails that don’t pertain to me and just clogs up my box. But they never did. In Nov I got an invite for the company Xmas party which is at one of my favorite restaurants so I very excitedly rsvp’d yes. Keep in mind, my rsvp is to my family member (an in law) because she is the exec asst and planning the party. She wrote back I was not invited as I am a part time employee.
There are only 2 of us that work part time. Would it really be that hard to add 4 people to a party of 150? I asked AGAIN to be taken off the “everyone” email handle but no one as done it so I continue to get emails about the dress code, secret Santa ect. Honestly I’m not that excited over company holiday parties….but there’s something so triggering about being told you CANT come. Happy holidays everyone!
