While I agree with the principle, sounds like you sperged out and acted like a scrotebrain, alienating your co-workers unnecessarily
>Hey anon why don’t you come and play with us?

GuestI don’t care if I sound "rude" or like a sperg to them, I don’t want to waste my time doing this when I can either be working or spending time with my family or doing literally anything else.
I’m financially secure, I do this job because I’m good at it and its quite easy working remote in my free time, but this sort of nonsense seems really common with a lot of new startups.

This is why you’re a sperg and no one likes you. I’m going to have to agree with all the others saying that yes, 100% you should have turned them down, but you are an absolute moron to think that HR is pooping on you for turning them down and not you being an absolute shit co-worker.-

Guest>>why does everyone
Because we, unironically, live in a society you dumb sperg. It’s not like this shit is hard. If someone asks you for out of work shit just politely decline.
scrotebrains like you can’t seem to grasp social etiquette, and I guarantee you this has nothing to do with some froo-froo social activity with your coworkers and more a build-up of distaste at your shitty work disposition.
Very few people want to be at work, but at least try to pretend you aren’t a wretched piece of shit for ten minutes Carl.-

GuestAgreed. OP should have politely declined, and said that they have other pressing family matters to attend to, ex: "I have to help take care of my single older Mom" etc. No one at work will EVER know about your personal situation. Just lie your way out of it. Had a coworker try to ask for a Steam account, but told him that I usually skill build for my career after work, and just want to move my career forward these days because time is too precious for games. Simply told him if I’m TRULY bored, then I will play games but that’s rare for me these days as there’s always something new to learn.

GuestIn a fair world you did the right thing. People need to be told to fuck off when suggesting dumb shit. You just know the dumb bitch only suggested Among Us because she saw AOC play it once. If you could have your time again you should have reported her to HR citing the game contains depictions of violence which could trigger PTSD or some shit. Also just subtly draw the link to the rule 34 of the characters as a dogwhistle for pornography in your write up.

GuestLearn to say no, and realise your value as a worker rather than cowering when someone comes to “talk” with you about how you’re making others “uncomfortable”.
I’m not repantant and I’m not asocial, I just despise this fake family atmosphere companies try to cultivate.
I don’t need to impress all the random idiots at work, I only care about my team (whom I get on well with) and my actual boss whom I also have no issues with.Like others have said stop being so terrified of the passive agressive women/onions in your office and get some slef respect.
If you’re living hand to mouth and petrified about losing your job then maybe you need to wake up and rethink your priorities/habits.-

Guest>told the woman organizing it to grow up
While it seems like your frustration was merited, people who sit around playing video games all day are especially sensitive to this phrase. I think it basically has to do with the fact that most "gamers" know that what they’re doing is an unproductive waste of time, yet aren’t able to consciously admit this. Deep down they that playing video games is a childish behavior, but refuse to acknowledge it: since acknowledging that they spend a lot of their time doing childish things would mean acknowledging that they’re essentially still children.I have nothing against video games, I even play them myself occasionally. But I can’t freaking stand adults who try to actively pass video-games off as some kind of "mature pastime for mature people such as myself". It’s so unbelievably pathetic.

GuestDepends. Honestly, I’ve realized the open world-esque games like The Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, etc, have taught me more about decisions and life in general. I’ve found when I came back to them years later that they had a total impact on me, in terms of reinstating that I could make any decision I want in life.
These types of decision type games are good imo. The rest are pretty much a waste of time so I will agree with you on this. Its literally a thing you would do if you’re absolutely bored and not skill building on your career or something.

The type of person who actually gets upset if you call gaming childish is exactly the kind of person who behaves like a child in other areas of their life too. A more mature response would be just

>REEEE FUCK U GAMING IS FOR US GROWN UPS TOO WE CAN PLAY GAMES WE FUKING GREW UP WITH GAMES OMFG“Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” C.S Lewis

GuestY’all need to understand that as the older generation retires, going out to the sports bar to drink isn’t really considered a fun social team building event. Instead, you will need to play Among Us, Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, League of Legends or Fortnite to name a few. Remember, there were plenty of Boomers that all they wanted to do was go to work then go home and play Microsoft Flight Sim but they went out to the bar to not be suspect.

Guestwhat do you think personally does team building or whatever actually helps employees? I actually love it because one of my school friends work with me but than again I also fear things like these make it hard for me stand up for myself in difficult situations and also to leave a company.
this team building thing might make me endure more shit by myself without bringing them up to someone.-

GuestI don’t enjoy it, I don’t want to play games or do goofy cringe shit with idiots whom I dislike.
best team building is having a dinner/drinks and some sort of gift giveaway or resort trip for a few days of hanging out at the beach or whatever.I work two jobs atm and my main job (working as a lecturer at a local college) does this, and its much better, though I also respect my co-workers there.

Guest> drinks
I’m reminded of an incident my friend had.
> be me
> muslim
> no drinking and no going alone with girls
> go to work
> do job
> female boss
> "hey, for team building we’ll be going to a bar"
> too pussy to just say no
> check calendar invite, noticed I’m the only one who has to go
> go to bar that’s 40 minutes away
> "here at Cucks R Us, we value diversity"
> mfw they don’t even care if it’s forbidden to drink and go with girls
In fairness, he’s a bitch. He should have said no. Still, I think it’s fair to assume if you have an Arab name, you properly shouldn’t drink. Plus he was 20 at the time too. -

GuestHey OP don’t feel bad. I’m quitting my current tech support job, but its hilariously bad at team meetings. No one turns on their webcams when they’re asked because everyone hates each others –> Literally East Coast Tyrones and West Coast Changs.
> Be my my boss: "Um… can someone share pictures of what they did recently"
> Chinese west coast coworker: "Ah oh ah, I haev a pictshah of me riding a Unacycle reecently"
> Same coworker takes 8 minutes to get video loaded on his phone to play in front of webcam, —> Zero response and silence.Fun times to work in a startup.

GuestThis stupid mania of trying to make companies be clubs/family is so freaking scrotebrained.
Meetings should be work related only and require the minimum amount of participants.
I don’t care about your stupid unicycle, i don’t care about your stupid game, i don’t care if you can or cannot bond with your coworkers and teammates. Have your work correctly done by deadline, don’t bother other workers, behave like the corporate slave you are, keep your head down and we will get along just perfect.-

Guestthis honestly, anyone ITT saying otherwise or "just have fun!" is a scrotebrain and dead weight.
I have a family and my own friends, work is work, plus remote work makes me care even less about these people living on the other side of the planet complaining about how expensive their "HIP TRENDY BUSTLING" city is.meanwhile I live in Eastern Europe like a king because I make high western wages

Guestthats why you get promoted ahead of them, and they do anyways but you dont date up because then youre sleeping your way up and they know this too, so you have to pretend to be underneath them also – then you just make it work… and they dont care if its in a completely different sector where their coworkers will never see you

GuestI don’t tell anybody I’m an autist. If somebody treats me the same as anybody else, does that mean I’m getting discriminated against?
Autists want discrimination generally speaking. They loathe the idea of being treated equally because the truth is that they need some level of special treatment to be successful.

Its YOUR fault that the working enviroment in so many companies sucks so much and is full of this sort of nonsense.Learn to say no, and realise your value as a worker rather than cowering when someone comes to “talk” with you about how you’re making others “uncomfortable”.

Learn to shut the fuck up at work, and keep it yourself. The only types of jobs that you could get and act like this pretty much include only manual labor.

GuestThe irony of this is that OP probably plays much more vidya on the average week and is more invested in it than his co-workers. But still feels the need to signal his superiority because he doesn’t like this specific video game.
I used to know a dude like this, would spend every free hour grinding on MMOs then as soon as he had some normie he wanted to impress, he’d start making fun of other people for this.
