  • But why? Why can’t that work for you?

    So you can ensure that the person who is doing great work isn’t one of “them”?

    Work is professional. It’s work. Social is informal. It’s not work.

    What exactly is it that makes you need to mix the two?

    I am an extremely introverted person with pretty extreme social anxiety.

    The only reasons I can come up with for NEEDING to force social situations into work are nefarious.

    And notice, I’m not saying work anonymously. Zoom makes sense when the processes are that lacking.


  • The company doesn’t own the buildings, but the owners of the company, the ones that would see the bonus money for selling the buildings (company savings on rent and a terminated lease), own the buildings.

    So there are a lot of mental gymnastics, but the punchline is that the company does own the buildings with a lot of rotten little pockets in the irs filings…

    Your initial and final statement, while both true, do very much contradict eachother.




  • I mean sure.

    So are you saying you are a proponent of causing a problem for me? Because you have a great time, you endorse forcing me to go against my will?

    I guess I’m not saying “don’t do team building”, I’m saying “don’t force people who don’t want to go to go.”

    If I am doing my job, and I am remote, why are you compelled to fuck around with me and make me uncomfortable for 10% of my work obligation?



  • I mean, you get your opinion, but I just disagree.

    Remote means Remote.

    Being forced to stand in a field and eat hot dogs with my coworkers doesn’t accomplish anything but subject me to learning things I shouldn’t need to know about my coworkers and being forced to share things I don’t want to share with my coworkers.

    I have never once attended a “team building” event and liked my coworkers more after.

    In fact, the opposite happens. I learn who is religious. I learn who is racist. I learn who denies climate change. I learn who is a horrible parent bit thinks they are the best parent.

    I’m not friends with my coworkers. I cowork with them, and as a data analyst/process Automator, I can do that through zoom.
