craftsman 1,045 Posted November 6, 2022 I work remote like a lot of people are doing these days. On my last project they asked me to come in to the client office for a day of meeting team members and going out for dinner afterward. I told them, "Yeah, that sounds great". I really didn't want to go, so, a day before the meet up, I suddenly came up with "Covid". I beat SNL to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those dinners are only free in terms of not having to pay money for them. They mostly just bore me because I'm not interested in hearing about some senior executive talking about how much they know about wine and everyone pretending it's a big deal. Or what have you. And I am no salesman and don't need to be in my position so the best way for me to make good client relationships is to be an expert at my job while on the job. In fact, I have told my company told my company over the years as such, and that I never want to move into a role that requires me to have any sales requirements associated with them. So over the years I have simply moved around laterally and still get my pay raises. I don't have anything at all against people who like the after work get togethers with the teams, but I only like to hang out with the friends I made in my company because it's more genuine. I have some work friends that like to go frisbee golfing and I hang out with them all the time. It's just how I feel. I don't hate people for liking it. And I'm definitely not the only one like this.

I certainly understand this mindset. My wife has taken great pains to stay on the technical side of things; they'd have made her a manager long ago but she likes not having to deal with all of the crap which comes with that. That being said, you described the dinner as "team members" which IMO are the people you work with on a daily basis, not the VP who orders the most expensive wine on the menu and acts like he is a wine expert.

I mean 50 people out of the 13 million who live in my state...still a really solid chance I wouldn't know them anyway. I do know a handful of people who got COVID in the past 2 weeks but it is certainly not as widespread as this time last year- certainly because it was a few days away from ripping through my family- both immediate and extended.

Don’t see the outrage though. They made it clear to distinguish between Covid now and how it used to be, showed the effectiveness of the vaccine, and still talked about the potential longer term effects of Covid infection such as brain fog. 10 hours ago, jerryskids said: 2500 people died of Covid last week? For simple stupid math, let's call that 50 per state. Anyone know anyone who died from Covid last week? Hospitalized? Got Covid at all? Honestly, who are these people dying from it? 2500 per week would be 130k per year, about 30% of 2021. That’s not really all that much, especially not enough to assume you’d “know someone that died of it.” I also believe the initial numbers reported are “with” covid deaths. While the % of “with Covid” deaths that had Covid as the underlying cause was 90%+ in 2020-2021, I believe with Omicron it dropped to around 50% (of course covidiots will want you to believe that’s how it was the whole time), which would put true Covid deaths about on par with the flu at this point.
