I’ve been invited to two. The people who did have a drink wouldn’t sip from it. Like they didn’t want to be seen drinking or something? It was painful and awkward AF. We’re having another one next week. Thanks, I hate it.

I don’t get the point. Happy and a work meeting doesn’t compute. Oil and vinegar. I haven’t been to the past 8 since the series started when everyone began WFH.

Don't go. Just don't show up. Everyone has a choice. My dept has it and not everyone shows up, we get it.

I myself didn't show up quite a bit... sometimes need the time to do work, other time just to help with cooking at home. You have a life, nothing wrong.

I personally enjoy it.

I feel obligated, to a certain extent. But, if I have a meeting vaguely near the scheduled time of the Happy Hour, I send a note « sorry-too busy ».

Just light up during the happy hour. Makes it all better

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?
