I despise at work birthday events. They can go fuck right off with Quality Faires, Happy Hours, After-Work Social Events, and all that other "morale building" shit. I'm not there to celebrate, I'm there to collect my paycheck and get the fuck away from the unwashed heathens.
Same mentality as me. I'm not interested in spending even more time outside of work with people who do not give a fuck about me or who I am as a person. Same goes for after-work meetings - if you can't put the meeting in work hours, I'm not interested. I don't care if you pay me - my after work time is spent with my husband, my family, and my friends - and doing the hobbies I enjoy. It's not spent bickering about topics which I already know about, or which could be told to me either in an email or in person during work hours.
When I retired someone asked me "don't you miss working?" FUKNO
Yeah, after a (presumably) long and reasonably happy life, the last thing i want to be thinking is "Gee, I wish I had spent more time at work".
Well, yeah, it's okay to hate that shit. But getting anxiety because of it is ridiculous. What did they do at the party? Take their dicks out?
Dude, you just skimmed that shit. He told his manager he did not want a birthday celebration. The manager threw the birthday celebration anyway, so he just went to his car for that lunch and ate lunch in his car instead of the cafeteria. The following Monday he was called onto the carpet for being a meanypants partypooper for leaving the party that he didn't want in the first place early, SO THEY FUCKING FIRED HIM.
I'd have sued their asses too. And it was brilliant of him to use the Americans with Disabilities Act against them, because he warned that manager in advance that he had social anxiety that was exacerbated by events such as that shitty little "party."
In conclusion, fuck you and your shallow take on this topic, and fuck that manager right in the pee hole for pushing this candy-ass forced socializing crap on someone who just came there to work.
Yeah, I would have done the exact same thing. Fuck work parties, and fuck people who don't respect personal boundaries even more.
They're more to the story that the jew news is hiding. Notice that his attorney didn't deny they he got violent, he just said he wasn't a "threat." That's the same kind of moronic shit drooling leftists say when a violent nigger gets shot by the police.
Even worse, they clapped.
I've met a few people over the years that had severe anxiety with that kind of situation. Some people are wired wrong.
The guy did ask that it not happen, but the company did it anyway. Everyone here overreacted, the worst that should have happened was the idiot manager that went ahead and did it should get a reprimand, but not paying attention to the situation is what most managers seem to be good at.
Everyone has snowflake fatigue at this point.
I always had a blast enjoying all the free booze, appetizers, and sales team girls.
Never had any of that.
