Jesus if someone tried to make me attend a virtual happy hour I’d laugh in their face 🤣

Don’t go if you don’t want to. But guess what. Someone might miss your face. Someone might miss waving to you as they pass in the hall. Someone might live alone and need that connection. Someone might live with crappy roommates, spouse, kids - and need either the connection - or the excuse.

I will continue to host happy hours. I miss my teams. I miss waving to the people I recognize. And - a few minutes away from kids/spouse to share a drink with colleagues is something I enjoy - whether or not I am quarantined.

Our team had one. It’s a nice way to keep the team feeling connected. People shouldn’t be so critical. Just don’t go if you don’t feel comfortable.

Seriously you people overthink these things. Someone on your team is just trying to find a way to connect during a really tough time. Just don’t go if it’s too much for you. No one is analyzing your excuse if you don’t show. I’m not sure why it’s so hard to just log on and be nice though.

Why do you feel that you have to attend? Don’t be pressured into doing something you aren’t comfortable with. Some people like to gather others around them at times like this and others would rather cope in a more private way like meditation. There is enough stress without adding to it. So give yourself permission to not attend.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
