I am so grateful that nobody on my team has suggested doing a virtual HH......

Then don’t. I love my team HHs but def wouldn’t want people like you bringing down the mood. I’m so sick of people complaining about them - just don’t join if you don’t want to! (And let those who enjoy them continue to have them. I live alone and miss my team and really enjoy being able to catch up with them over a drink.)

PM1 — this job doesn’t end all it’s responsibilities at the ‘workday’. How/where do you think we sell work and build client relationships? Networking with our teams and others is a fundamental part of consulting and will become more important as you move up. It’s not about attending every HH, or staying for every minute of it, but if you don’t want to attend any of them, and are reluctant to spend any time with members of your team outside this business day, it may over time have impacts. Pick one HH a month, or pick a set time you agree with yourself to stay at the HH (15 min, one drink etc) and then you do you

We have two every day of the week now! Its getting out of hand and more and more awkward finding polite reasons to avoid

Yup. Same here. I don’t like happy hours. Virtual ones, even more so

I’m an extrovert and really enjoy them but some people don’t so they just don’t join🤷🏻‍♀️

Earlier, I said do it. But now I have been invited to one and I don’t want to go hahaha

It actually ended up being pretty fun lol
