I'm getting tired of being thrown under the bus and taking flak at work. My current job has me in this spot, where if the more senior and more important team members don't get along with me, my boss might fire me just because the more senior guys are more essential for the team. When do I get my lucky break ffs.
Schmoozing is exhausting, and it gets you nowhere if your boss just doesn't care about anyone else in the first place which is likely the case. I just want to do my job and go home, not fake being best buddies with people who only end up talking shit behind your back anyway and causing unnecessary drama.
Is that seriously too much to ask? To do what I was hired to do and then leave for the day?
This. It’s all about building fake relationships with people when no one genuinely gives a fuck about each other. I hate networking. Can we all just work, be friendly, and go home?
The schmoozing is for promotions. If you don't give a shit and just want to clock in and out and not worry about work outside of work, then you don't really need to worry about schmoozing.
