Can you try to organise something and have people come out? I was that guy my last project. They super appreciated it.

Feel your pain. Eating dinner at the hotel bar by yourself sucks.

Reach out to the director or partner and ask them if you they would mind you taking point on organizing a team social connectivity event every other week. Something simple like a dinner or happy hour-just to get people to get to know their team members better. You can start there and hopefully it will snowball into something more defaults from there.

How can entire team not socialize. They must be socializing- perhaps they are local and have kids and SOs to look after.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.
