Anybody else's job require them to go to unnecessary "trainings" and meetings often?

I've only been at my job a few months and it so bad that week to week I don't know what my week is gonna look like.

I can't just come to work, do my job and go home.

I'll get calendar invites with meetings that I have to go to off-site for next week.

A training somewhere in a weekend in 2 weeks..

I could go on and on but I'll just stop there.

Its annoying really.

Edit: just got back from my lunch break. I check my email and there's a WORK EVENT scheduled for a Saturday! I can't make this stuff up!

At least this one is 2 months out 🙄
