'You wouldn’t be working exactly, just helping': Boss invites employee to exclusive Christmas party, only to pressure her to work the event
Has anyone else been fooled by their boss into thinking they were being singled out for something special when in reality, they were just being taken for granted? It's a common occurrence in the workplace, especially during busy times of the year like the Holiday season when people tend to be the most selfish under the guise of graciousness. Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, many employees have already begun to plan for their office Holiday parties. Few of you are excited, many of you are anxious, and most of you are probably eager to imbibe on the company's dime at the very least. But what happens when your company has an exclusive Holiday party for those at the managerial level and you get invited under the guise of inclusion when really, you are actually being asked to work the event? Once again, tone-deaf selfishness has made its way into an already toxic work environment.
