In this story, one employee found themselves frustrated that their manager had planned an unpaid, mandatory teambuilding day during the weekend, on the day that they usually spent with their child. They felt it was important to put family above work in this case.
As a result, they let their boss know that they would not be attending because of family commitments. The manager proceeded to accuse them of not being committed to the company culture. They felt like they worked hard at their job and were being unfairly discriminated against. They shared how everything unfolded.
Unpaid “mandatory fun” on my only family day and apparently I’m not “committed to company culture”
