I got chewed out for not going to a company bowling party once because I was working that night and asked for overtime if I went. I was doing security patrols which in that job meant 12-hour overnight shifts that were mostly driving, and I refused to lose 3 hours of sleep so I could go out before work. The HR lady or whatever she was couldn’t understand why I refused to go even though she so thoughtfully planned it outside of work hours.

that is shitty and should be pointed out to her if she genuinely didn’t know

  Yeah, I was honest, I assume she was just one of those people who has never had to work long or unusual hours. A lot of people can’t wrap their heads around the fact that night shift workers need to sleep during the day, and that a few hours to hang out in the afternoon at the end of an 8h shift is very different to that same few hours before a 12h overnight.
  
  That said, she was awful to deal with, so maybe she just didn’t care. All of the management was. My direct manager at one point was fired because his wife (definitely not a nepo hire) embezzled half a million over a few years.

    And a few hours at the end of an 8 hour shift is already horrible. Every hour is precious if you work full time. Don’t waste it on people you can’t stand.

“If I’m not being paid, I’m not coming” is something i make clear with my bosses early on. It doesn’t ingratiate me to mgmt, but i already tried the “team player” route and it’s an investment with no fucking returns. I’m to old to fuck around, I’m only there to get paid, miss me with that off-hours shit. i have enough friends and bossman aint never gonna be one of em.
