Cooler morning
I woke up this morning feeling like I wrote my entries last night while hot, tired and all fuzzed up on allergy medication. Although I already have comments that show ya'll did understand me, I wanted to clarify it just a little. Companies seem to want to blur the line between family and work. I completely understand that if you want to climb the ladder you must put in extra time with the higher-ups. But if you are a lower-down you should not be made to feel antisocial because you don't want to hang out with other lower-downs outside of work. And again: I am antisocial. And I don't like everyone I work with. But the sole reason I don't want to participate is because I would rather be at home with my family than anyone at work. My family is my family, my work is where I work my ass off to get paid. Sometimes, at my particular company, it seems like more emphasis is placed on participating in activities than in how good a job you do. And my boss will know what I'm talking about here. There are a few workers in my area of the office who in no stretch of the imagination are working their asses off. But they participate in the funtime activities. So they are good workers because they participate. Now, I'm not being punished for anything, so again I'm not speaking specifically about me, I just don't get the logic. And I don't get the logic of the workers who follow along with this idea that the company is their family. Do these people not have friends or family outside of work? A hobby maybe?? So that's it. I see the commenters do get it, I guess I'm just afraid Ms.Boss is going to read it and freak out that I'm complaining, but I just wanted to write it out and see if others understand the logic. Because here's the thing: When I leave the company (when most people leave the company), the company is not going to hear from me again and they will not miss me in a year. If something happens to a family member and I didn't spend all the time I could with that person, I will never forget that. Work is where you work your ass off and you should get rewarded for THAT. Family is the people you love and want to spend time with. That line really should not be blurred and no one at work should be made to feel like an outsider because they just want to work their asses off so they can spend time with their family. The end.
