As the title says, I'm soon to be in office xmas party hell. My office has been about 50% capacity since the pandemic, with a lot of people still working from home or hybrid but of course management hates that so they're trying to motivate/force people to come in more. This week is the party and they're setting up directly in front of my desk so I feel like I can't get away. I'm gonna hide in conference rooms here and there but can't vanish entirely (oh how I wish I could). This is during the workday too. Just venting I guess, I'm not looking forward to a huge crowd of drunk people jammed around my desk who do nothing but suck up to the boss all day and ask personal questions like it's nothing. I'm exhausted, burnt out, and definitely not paid enough for this shit. 🆘
