Ha! Who the heck are the people being interviewed? Certainly not welders, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, nurses, or retail clerks. Or farmers, refinery workers, or baggage handlers. Or the people who build and service the computers on which the interviewees pretend to work. Just apparently spoiled self important narcissists who really only want to go into the office for lunch and happy hour. I’ll bet 50% of those interviewed could be laid off and nobody would notice.
What’s this fascination amongst so many with eating with coworkers? We (humanity) defecate in private, sleep in private and procreate in private. Why is eating in public our one chosen primal display? I for one say no thanks. Not being forced to watch coworkers chew their cud, not smelling their vile leftovers and not having to listen to them slurp their drinks are some of the best perks of working from home.
In Chinese culture sharing a meal with one another is a great way to bond and create lasting friendships. It’s also a great way to make peace with one another or establish agreeable terms. It’s easier to have peaceful productive dialogue on a full stomach. Some might suggest it’s needed now more than ever.
Yep, just gave my 2 weeks notice today for a job I adore. We got a new Dept. Mgr. who has decided to make all jobs and responsibities everyones responsibility…calling it cross training. However, you dont get new titles or pay raises, lower ranking persons have to perform the worst parts of upper level coworkers. But upper level coworkers can opt out if they are too busy to help underlings. HUH?…Yep…thats what I said. Mgmt wont say a thing bc Ms. Pinkthing is supposed to be an organizational wizard. Im too close to retiring to aggravate myself with her web of pink bullshit. I have 40 years in this business I dont have to prove myself any longer, plus Id rather visit my grandkids on this side of the prison gate…lol.
