Management acting surprised when I refused to attend a coworker's birthday after work hours.
I'm an apprentice in a new company for my studies and today I did a 7 to 3 shift with zero lunch break because we had to finish a big project. At the end of it they were planning a birthday celebration with food and everything, but I was having none of it.
It's Friday and I wanted to go home for the weekend, like every normal person you know. I told my manager if I had to stay and she acted surprised when I told her I was leaving. I even had to pretend it was urgent for her to let me go.
Fuck this trash "family culture" bullshit in companies, I don't care and why should I? I've done my 8 hours, my shift is over, I'm out. Sorry source
