horrible forced "fun" at work..- Corporate Cringe | #grindreel

Workfun sounds like an Orwellian word in Newspeak.

It's a shit test. If you don't play along, you lose. If you play along, you lose. The only way to win is not to play. I'm not going to say who caused this, but most people already know.

I feel the same about this as you Mr. Fluke, however keep in mind some people don't operate well in solitude. As an ex cult member you're used to being a unit, but many people can only function well in cliques. This may actually make a lot of sense to some workers. I can't say for sure, but its a possibility.

The 2:59 moment literally forced me to remember another golden piece of music arts, the Hymn of Tieto: https://youtu.be/IFeKV_bmb9M

I'm only interested if my avatar is an apache gunship

It really is creepy. Every single company is like a cult with their get togethers, let's have fun, we're a family type attitudes.

My coworkers are not my family. They're acquaintances that I work together with. I want things to go smoothly with them, and I believe in being decent. But, they aren't my family. They aren't my friends.

I do not eat, sleep, and breathe my job. I have my own life, and that is separate from my job. I want that as separate as possible from work.

My life and my work have no right to be combined together, screw any job that tries to get me to join their little cult.

So free vr for everyone? that's something at least

companies, you want to do something genuinely fun?
turn the phones OFF for three hours*
let each individual order whatever lunch they wish for delivery with something like a $30 or $40 limit
let people eat/hang out at multiple large tables, catch up with eachother, talk shop, talk shit for that three hours
*nobody goes back to their desk. nobody goes on the phones. everybody chills together. oh. no group activities or icebreakers
it's not real if company refuses to pay into a lunch + three hours to enjoy it together. just isn't

Shit like this sometimes make me want to wish that let's just wipe this world out with an all out nuclear war. Life is suffering. So why not just end it all.

I worked at a place where we had motivational every other month or more and we were not able to work during these meetings. We were not able to build shoe insoles during this time, but we would end up working the weekend making up the hours of lost production. Most of the time they would get us pizza and by the time we got to eat the pizza it was cold and old.
My last day was during one of these meetings where I pulled out my lunch from home to eat and was approached by HR as I did not look like I was participating in there "fun". After the meeting I went to the owner of the business and told talked to him. He unknowing gave me the nerve to stop by HR on the way back to my work cell, hand in my badge, and asked to be walked out. I got 7 phone calls over the next 4 days from the owner trying to get me to come back.
Motivational speakers just make me want to kill my self; I did not join the army due to not wanting to put up with stupidity, and joined your company to work.

I could never be a manager, because I am an actual human being.

But to make real money, I have to become a manager.

God, I'm screwed.

Softservians is way too close to subservient for my liking
