Comments on: Don't ditch the company party http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2003/12/04/dont-ditch-the-company-party/ Advice at the intersection of work and life Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:54:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Kerry http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2003/12/04/dont-ditch-the-company-party/#comment-119160 Kerry Fri, 07 Dec 2007 18:41:00 +0000 http://lolindrath.dyndns.org/lolindrath/wordpress/2003/12/04/dont-ditch-the-company-party/#comment-119160 That kind of attitude is exactly the reason you would not fit in at any place that I have ever worked. I hardly see management wanting to get to understand the people that work for them better as a "sham". If anything it offers them a glimpse into why you are the way you are. Mind you, you've already shown them that haven't you. Like the article says, all you really need to do is put in an appearance to show that you are indeed a team player. I suspect however the you Ms Nunes are not. That kind of attitude is exactly the reason you would not fit in at any place that I have ever worked.

In over 30 years in the labor force, I have NEVER gone to those idiotic parties, and I never will. You see, no employer owns me in my off-time, and my life away from my job is as I see fit. If more people would simply quit trying to suck up to their bosses by attending these ridiculous gatherings, the parties would cease as the shams they are. What nonsense.
