Would 1000000% take a limited menu on a hosted bar over a full bar but cash option.

open. i think asking people to pay at your party is so tacky it’s better to have just beer and wine or limited options over cash

It won’t be said to your face but if you/family drink then it will definitely be complained that you did a cash bar. Especially if you have guests coming from out of town.

*meant to say friends/family

And if cost is factor see if venue lets you provide your own. You could get coors light and yellowtail wine. You don’t need to provide liquor. Just something basic.

Compromise- pick a few simple well drinks people can order for free that won’t break your budget.

How does a sole engineer at a company go about getting management to actually care how production machines run? I’m the only mechanical engineer at my company dealing with a half dozen cranky production managers who think that I can “work my magic” on a machine. It’s not magic, just ignorance about the machine actually works. How to I get a manager to stop caring about the end product long enough for me to actually teach them about their own machine?

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations.

Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
