Need to get a better team

I hold Speed Team Dinners. I wish it was what you're thinking now, but it's a way to have a team dinner in under an hour. How is this possible? Rule 1: everyone must place a drink order on the first waiter visit. Rule 2: place an entree order when drinks are delivered. Rule 3: No apps. Salads and soups are fine. Those that want to stay for drinks after can stay while other can leave.

My teams like team dinners. It's voluntarily obligatory.

You mean you don't enjoy laughing at horrible Partner jokes for 3-4 hours?

There was this project manager who used to organize team dinners at least twice a week. She always said I won't hold it against you if you don't come. I noticed she was passive aggressive to people who didn't show. I later figured out she always organized those things because she had no friends outside of work.

Agree with EY1. If you've got a great team, team dinners are much better than dining alone or going to the hotel.

Hey A1 my jokes are awesome! You better laugh at our next dinner!!!!

SC1, it sounds like she was making a lot of effort. My teams always want to do more team stuff so I'm torn on this one. Nothing wrong with any of her actions except the passive aggressiveness.

Nooo, team dinners are the best.

Once per two weeks is heaven, once a week is expected, and twice a week is hell. Team dinners are always voluntarily obligatory though.

Same. I'd rather work out or read (or FB) in my room.

Love team dinners! Once a week. Also have had an awesome team.

Damn. I hope that's not my teammate saying that OP.

I love team dinners... :-( why the hate? That said my team has dinner once in two weeks. Definitely not twice a week.
