Do you struggle with going to staff appreciation events? I have one coming up in a couple days and I’m loathing the idea of going. Sitting around and acting cordial with coworkers when I’d much rather go home. Staff appreciation should always be in the form of money. I don’t need bowling parties

Yes…I really try to avoid them as much as possible honestly. We spend enough time at work and I value what little free time I have left

I am always getting invited to industry appreciation events and I feel much the same way. I have to balance my desire to be seen and participate in my industry, and wanting to be at home being seen my no one. I should probably make more of an effort because Netflix and my couch win out more often than not.

So I used to work for this shady Series A funded startup in Mumbai. Our CEO was a drug addict who funnelled money back to a lobbyist on the VC side. They paid INR 1.2 Crores for their logo to a "creative agency", just one of the many dodgy expenses they made including multiple so-called official trips to exotic locations like Hawaii. Till date their SAAS product has not found a single buyer. The CEO's girlfriend was the Sales Director whose job was to wear skimpy dresses for business meetings.

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.
