      That’s actually Corp speak for it’s not completely obligatory. I have meetings where it’s if you can attend you need to be in it. And then I have meetings where it doesn’t matter what you are doing you have to be in that meeting barring an emergency.

      I’m reading it as, “You don’t technically have to attend, but we’ll remember who wasn’t there when it’s time for performance reviews.”

    The cult around constantly being touring, or planning your next trip, that I’ve seen at every company where people earn ok money is such a bother.

    I feel for people who have friends in other countries, but all this flying around ugh, and then talking about it ugh ugh

    This is my cat while sleeping. This is my cat while awake. I travelled to work this morning and would like to travel back home now, because that would allow me to escape this stupid fucking situation.

    “I’m a private person and don’t feel comfortable sharing. Thanks for the invite, but I’ll be turning this meeting down. Feel free to reach out if you have any work related discussions in which my opinion would be valuable. I have lots of ideas for improvement for cross-department collaboration that I would be willing share.”

    Companies are made by extroverts, for extroverts, and as extroverts they have no consideration or realization that anyone might have any feelings different from them.

      As an extravert, I’d tell them to get the fuck out of my private life. If ignored, I would sabotage the event by sharing something like me puking at a party, or playing Stardew Valley on a toilet.

        That’s fair; I’m generalizing and certainly not all Extro’s will fit into that box. Lots of corpo mgmt folks certainly do though.

    • Hello, my name is I Cast Fist and this first picture is of me playing Doom 2016, right as I chainsaw a mancubus in half. Please refrain from remarking how much our boss looks like this monster. This second picture is the frontpage of NaughtyMachinima, where we can see a large variety of 3D rendered videos, including gangbangs, bestiality and monster sex, because I think it’s neat.
    • One place I travelled to is my bathroom, a place I want to travel to is my bedroom and get a full night’s sleep.

    Now, in all fairness, when people actually want to listen to my ramblings when they want to know me, boy, better sit down because I can talk a lot. My work colleagues recently found out I once appeared as an extra in a few local adverts and quickly made some chat stickers of said scenes 🤣

    First picture is a picture of this request. Second picture is a picture of this request.

    A place you have traveled to is work. And it sucks.

    A place you want to travel to it’s home, and that’s nonya business.

    Do you mean reading what they sent you or what they actually said? Cause I have no idea what they said.

    Make shit up. No joke. Only way to survive this shit is to have fun with it and make up the most ludicrous bullshit. Or dont attend if its not required. Tell your coworkers the same. Or say you are busy as you have to actually work.
