Frrrr
These are literally the most annoying questions in interviews. I like to turn the tables on them at the end of the interview when it’s my turn to ask questions:

A manager at my company is leaving, and I just got an email saying my attendance at a farewell party after work on Thursday is 'mandatory'.
This is bothering me for several reasons. Most importantly, I don't think work has the right to force me to do anything unpaid and outside of my normal work hours. I feel like they are seriously overstepping their boundaries.
We are already having a company-paid lunch during our break to say goodbye to her. So, we're already taking time out of our day specifically for this. That should be enough of a farewell, right? But they also want another party after work?
Honestly, I have no problem with this manager, she's perfectly fine. But how many farewell parties does one person need? Besides, the party is a 45-minute drive from my house, and it's from 7 to 9 PM. I have to work early the next day, so it's not convenient at all.
The whole thing is just an inconvenience and a headache, and the fact that they're calling it 'mandatory' is what's really provoking.
