My old company threw a Halloween party on a Thursday during business hours. The whole creative team was so slammed with a last minute fire drill we were forced to work through it. Fifty people were all sitting at their desks is full on vampire costumes for no reason. ☠️

So a bunch of people at work looking like they're dressed for the jobs they want, not the jobs they have?
Had a situation like this happen at a former company. I was in an operational role, and the company was throwing a “company wide” BBQ on a Friday. I asked my leader if he’d set a cutoff time for anything that needed to be done to be turned into the team by noon on Thursday so the ops team could actually finish the work and attend the BBQ. He said that we rarely get last minute stuff, so he was sure it would be fine.
Sure enough, we got an “urgent” weekend order at 11:30a on Friday. The team busted their ass and stayed until after 6p to get it out the door, working through lunch to get it done.
Sales team the next week - “we missed you guys at the BBQ! It was so much fun!!”

"We took your cousin back behind the shed and shot them in the head. Free LeCroix in the kitchen!"
Honestly just give everyone $25 and axe the event altogether. I’ll buy my own hot dog…

Right, I can get a Costco hotdog and half a tank of gas with $25.
