My work is having an event... (1 Viewer)

There's puzzles, games, and a chance to win a throw to put a member of management in a dunk tank. I walked by the table and was asked to participate. I politely declined and they were like " are you sure?. It's fun!" I'm thinking my go to response of "I'd rather die" was to much?
I got some strange looks.

Funniest thing I've heard all day. I've been managed by worse and I've always been managed by better. I think they are average at best. There are a few that are good people. I just won't waste my break doing things I hate doing more than my actual job I get paid for. Poking around on reddit and kps is WAY more important.

Your work seems cooler than mine. We have so many rules, and every event has to go through Legal. They gave us a whole disclaimer we had to post at our bake sale. I can only imagine what they'd say if we proposed a dunk tank 😆😆😆

But in all seriousness. If you don't want to o something, I don't see why anyone should mind.

I'm sure the legal department at my work won't come to the plant for fear of knowing what actually goes on here.

SAME. If work wants me to do something, even something fun, it needs to be on paid company time.

You could dunk the manager.

You could dunk the manager.

probably a good idea
just sit down shut up and do the job
no need to potentially antagonise one's boss

Nah, I'd rather not participate. I didn't even go to thr company party this summer or the grand opening to the new plant. As I explained when they asked where I was. When you pay me you get my time. When you don't I have better things to do. When it comes to work money is the only language I understand.
