Quick Question Thread


Recommended Posts

I've been added to a work whatsap group, but I'm very much of the opinion that when I'm not at work I don't want to talk about or think about work, but on my days off (today for example) others are in and post about work things. Will I come across as an arsehole if I leave the group and just ask people to fill me in when I'm actually at work?

No. I opted out of a family whatsap thing and my 2 brothers-in-law followed my lead. A work one is outrageous.

We had one in my last place but that was 95% a social thing, talking about football or meeting up for drinks etc, with work chat being very minimal. I thought this would be much the same but they are actually talking about work.

You could suggest banning work talk.

My family one is a bit of a nightmare too as my mum and sister use it just for them generally chatting to each other. A few weeks back there were about 120 messages in two hours and a quick glance I could see they were talking about the usual sort of womanly stuff they are interested in that I'm not, so I just very quickly scrolled past them. About a week later my mum phones me up and says 'we are almost there, just thought we would let you know'

 

'There? Where?'

 

'At your house, we discussed this'

 

'Err no we didn't, I'm out.'

 

Turns out about fifty messages in they discussed coming round to mine to see me and my daughter and said 'let us know if you are busy and we can rearrange' but of course I didn't read it but they took my lack of response as a 'yeah that's fine'.

I don't speak to anyone from my work from the second I leave the place, until I go back.

You don't have much choice in work but outside of it then they can all bolt. Last job that I had I was invited to their Christmas night out 3 years running, all paid for. No thanks. Might work with them but socialising, forget it.
