We call it “forced fun.”

Exactly lol

Not fair. If they are after-hours they should be optional. Unless you're on a work trip or something, teams can go out to lunch or hold mid-day events. Workers have families, evening activities with kids, dinner to make etc. It's unfair to MAKE them go to Top Golf at 8pm

Same as a company forcing you to take leave during festive seasons while deducting it from your annual leave

Every single offsite I get trapped at dinners with my manager who LOVES a 2+ hour dinner and it drives me crazy. Just let me rot in my hotel room like a normal person.

Those dinners are exhausting.

How mandatory is mandatory? Do you need to stay the entire time? If so, thats really tricky for many people, particularly parents.

I don't mind company events. I just enjoy the free food, and there are usually prizes for attending.

But I didn't connected with them via linkdin only. Can I trust them or they might be the fake one. I'm in very big confusion guys. I needed your suggestions.

Thanks in advance

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
