So today i mostly worked like a dog. My boss admitted to faffing a little too much today and didn’t as much done as she should have.
Hopefully this earns me a couple of early work finishes though tomorrow I have a work function at the end, I really hate that keeping us at work later to do these functions.
I'm lucky my work functions have been totally paid and during work hours. If they were out of hours I'd bail (as nice as my colleagues are).
I hate that the one tomorrow goes as late as one and a hours after work ends and isn’t paid.
I always felt it was so cheeky of them to host farewells and end of year things and stuff after work hours.
Wow, no, the absolute max I'd do is 30 minutes, 1.5 hrs is taking the piss. Especially when you've worked yourself tired. We all spend too much time at work as it is!!!
I’m probably going to do 30 mins as after that it’s after work time but they’re so slow with all the speeches and stuff, I may just sneak out since I’m not particularly fond of the people we’re farewelling.
Even the lure of free food isn’t enough to make me stay.
