I am an employee in Texas. I am currently working under a heavy deadline and the company has stated that a mandatory "party" would be held on a boat in the middle of nowhere instead of a regular work day.
When I said I had too much work and would rather get my job done, I was told they would charge me vacation time if I didn't attend their party.
Is this legal? Can they force me to burn paid time off just so that I can get my job done? Can they force offsite gatherings in Texas? Any information about the legality of this would be helpful.
Much appreciated
