Been at my job for 2 years now. Very low salary in comparison to what tasks I was assigned when I started and what they have me do now. So obviously I’m not going to do even more things that aren’t in my job description like attending work dinners for the holidays. I was in a meeting and my manager pretty much threw shade on how it’s good to attend work events so that the higher ups can know you instead of working from home not participating in anything. The thought of attending work events unpaid is wild to me and I see no reason to participate after 2 years being here and seeing no support from anyone since I don’t match their ideal level of social butterfly. Let alone when the event will be with people I do not directly work with or ever see outside of such events. One coworker even mentioned she’s willing to go to the office when the company VP or CEO is there even if it’s inconvenient with her workload and a risk of catching covid. Seems to be a major issue if you’re not a workaholic these days. Just a rant.
