Title: Re: REQUIRED "Team Building"
|
Started a new job several months back and have within the last few weeks have a new manager.
In the next month of so he's planning a "team building" outing: bowling (and in his own words, drinks)
This is after-hours and will be required.
Here's the question:
I do indulge in the sauce (LOL) but I never mix business with pleasure. In all my years of company Christmas parties, I've always sipped a Coke. I just don't think booze and coworkers is a good fit.
Beyond that, my free time is my free time. I don't see enough of my family and friends as it is, and I can think of nothing I'd rather do less than spend a Friday night bowling with my coworkers. Which brings me to my next point:
This is UNPAID, but REQUIRED.
I probably sound like a stick in the mud (I'm not, truly), just have a life outside of my 9-5 job.
Help. Do I put on my big girl panties and go and hate every second of it? Do I make a last minute excuse? Do I tell the truth and sound like a non-team player? Do I go to their boss and say this idea is not my cup of tea? (or shot of Jag?)
