Work social functions

[Titty Meat]

So my job is already planning their holiday party and the boss has came out and said any activity that involves drinking will require all employees to Uber. Which got me thinking of the one time an old job took a party bus to a Chiefs game and one of my co workers got so ****ing hammered she ended up being REAL flirty with all of the male employees and ended up puking her brains out and passing out on the ride back from the game.

People forget while these things are intended to be fun you're still at work by extension. What's your funny story about a social work function?

I mean amazing in that I'll never look at bank tellers the same way again.

Of course, I never look at bank tellers any more anyway since e-banking became a thing.

The negative claims about boomers bother me a bit. I read a comment on some financial article where a young person was saying mean things about boomers, and she said, "They never had competition for jobs or houses or anything."

What does she think the term "baby boom" means? We faced more competition than any generation before or since.

That said, I think there's a night and day difference between early boomers and late boomers in that regard. Early boomers had competition from their peers, but as a late boomer, I had 18 years of boomers ahead of me who had more experience and thus an advantage for promotions and jobs and everything else. Coming in at the tail end of the boom was a big demographic disadvantage.

I had a new intern assigned to me, and I hadn't had any time to get to know her. I ended up sitting next to her and her husband-to-be at dinner.

We were making small talk, and I found out that the guy was a college student. I asked what degree he was pursuing, and he said "philosophy". I nodded politely, and the guy suddenly went off on me. In a loud mocking voice, he said, "I saw that look you gave me! Ooooh, philosophy major! He'll never get a job! Useless degree! Well, yes! Yes! I'm a philosophy major and I don't care what you think!" On and on and on. I had done nothing but politely nod.

I had no opinion at all about the guy until that moment. But I acquired an instant dislike for him. He was just a jerk.

So now I had this intern, and my opinion of her was not very high because it would take a really stupid woman to be with this guy. Later, she commented on how clever he was because he liked to make racist comments to news articles "just to make people mad". She seemed to think that that was a sign of an advanced sense of humor. So my opinion went down another notch.

It turned out that this woman was completely incompetent at her job, too, and unethical to boot. She also had an incredibly annoying personality. I was responsible for her at the time but didn't have the authority to fire her, so I was stuck with her until I eventually quit.

Twenty years later, she's still floating around in my industry in different jobs and still an idiot. A few years back, a client came to me to take over a project that was in progress, and they told me that "they were tired of the consultant making screwups". That's an unusually frank thing to hear from a client, and when they sent me the files to clean up the mess, guess whose signature was on the work?

I don't hate the woman because she doesn't warrant that level of passion. She's just the human equivalent of walking through a spider web. When you encounter her you make a disgusted face and swat her away.

I've met exactly one psychology major that wasn't a dumbass but he also holds an MBA and is inherently street smart.

However, there's a certain red head that I still remember from a humanities requirement in my undergrad at university that I'll never forget. And yes, the curtains matched the carpet.

They also enjoyed a couple of decades of work before wage stagnation hit in the 1980s.

I want to do my own research on this, but I found it interesting.

Yeah, that's interesting. I have no ill will towards Baby Boomers in general, but I do towards those who were/are the most powerful and wealthy. They made sure to get theirs, then did their best to slam the door shut behind them.

This 45 years ago when I was 16. I worked at a restaurant and we had a Christmas party. Everyone was drinking no matter the age. I was drinking Jack Daniels. I remember waking up in my pickup when someone shook my shoulder. I looked up and it was a Missouri Highway patrolman. The DWI laws were much more lax in those days, so he just reached in and turned the truck off and told me not to drive until morning. My friends told me later that they carried me out to the truck.

I’m a ****ing blast at parties if we’re being honest.

I just understand why we got to the point we are now and it’s due to having too many issues with previous generations (or just the past in general).

An accountant gets wasted and grabs an intern’s titty at the company Christmas party. Next year they institute a two drink limit. You say “these new generations are a bunch of snowflakes!”

Not rude but probably frowned upon by the company.

Go and enjoy, handle your liquor, and end up in pound town.

You can, but you shouldn't. It's your chance to lick c-suite ass to climb that ladder!

$12 an hour or free pussy is a tough choice.
