I've been in this position before - it's hard. Once my boss actually "required" me to go on a department canoe trip for a day (a Saturday, not a day we worked). and I left the job shortly after that because it was clear that wouldn't be the last non-work activity they would demand of me.

Canoe trip??? That would push me over the edge. I don’t do canoes. I can’t believe this!
Honestly in my experience, people who are that engaged in social life at work are the worst employees
