This starts back about a month. Along w/our yearend bonus our boss wanted to take all 5 full time guys+SO on their family vacation to mexico or get X amt more bonus $$ if you opted out. Everyone had specfic reasons/conflicts to why they couldnt go, i unfortunatly didnt. I told them I though it was an incredible gesture(supposebly all expense paid), but since none of my fellow coworkers could go and this trip was to be for how well we all worked,Id rather take the money towards another sledding trip/house. Because w/out anyone else going, its their family and third wheel me. Nice enough people dont get me wrong, but interms of vacation activites were not on the same level. They dont drink, so no fun there. Im not big on warm weather vacations to start or being a beach bum but they like it. I could do it for a day or so but then...? If I had someone to take w/me it would probably be tolerable w/ expectation of vacation "good times"...
Anyways once I told them Id take the $$ I thought it was done. About a week later I walk in and im told your going w/us now, I just bought a ticket for you.
I stood there abit stunned and ask why? And was told that one coworker(whose family, married bosses daughter) needed someone to hang out with. I kinda expressed some unhappiness at that time about it, but didnt want to make a deal about.
Past couple weeks Ive been trying to come up w/any possible reason to say to get out of it. Ive got my trip out to tog about a week after we'd get back and I tried to explain that I didnt want to have all this off time at once, but that didnt fly either. I really dont want to have to say "listen, i really just
dont want to go w/you people" Which is the long and short of it, but thats not going to go over good no matter how much I butter them up... Anyone ever found themselves in a similar situation?
