iiii93763yTell her or him that it's time for your rest so he or she should fuck off with mandatory meetings outside of working hours.

I LOVE the expression that they "invite" you to a "mandatory" talk... Sums up their attitude perfectly!
-
woke strategy to checkmark "effort"
point is not to make employees environment but to look like you do everything for it. Does not matter that is counter productive -
Plot twist: they do their best to piss you off and the meeting ends by one of them going: “you all look very bored and pissed off... this is why it’s important to relax on Saturday and not attend to stupid meetings.”
Then they do a mic drop and disconnect leaving you speechless. -
I don't attend mandatory HR bullshit meetings unless it's on company time during my regular scheduled hours.
I'll be honest, I don't attend them then either 😂
I just ask if they have a problem with my performance in relation to <meeting title> and if they say no then I just shrug and say "then I guess I don't have to be there" -
hjk10157683yAt first my sleepy eyes read hour long walk. That actually would accomplish more than a talk...
I would either do nothing or definitely organise a counter with a series of relaxing photos outdoors and a caption "great talk mission accomplished". Send it to the whole organisation instead of attending.
When getting flack, you just say you thought it was a joke. Something this stupid can't be possibly be real... -
@Lyniven No I had to attend a made up dental appointment. In truth a root canal would’ve been more enjoying than sitting through that.
-
hi. i will not be attending because i obviously don't need to because i won't be attending.
So HR invited us to a mandatory hour long talk on why rest and relaxation is important for work efficiency.
On a Saturday.
You can’t make this shit up.
