What are your thoughts on 100% remote opportunities for CD?
I am currently CD Director at a major consulting firm working 100% remote (Europe) but am planning to transition into a CD role at one of the large software companies (Microsoft, Amazon, Autodesk, Ansys, Dassault Systemes, PTC, Siemens). I noticed that most CD teams are based out of a single city (generally HQ location).
Do you believe it's possible for those companies to hire remote talent worldwide? If not, why?

Fully agree with this. I shouldn’t have to be forced to drink or to eat unhealthy crap. I work for money, not for socializing
Why can’t companies just set it up so you hangout with coworkers during the workday? We have something called InDay once a month where the company has events during the workday that we use to hangout with folks.
I’ve really enjoyed cooking classes, we went on a boat trip, played board games, went wine tasting, did a scavenger hunt at the museum, etc. I get that some folks don’t want to take time off after work, but I think hanging out casually is helpful.
We have similar week long trainings, like the milestone award for newly promoted seniors that used to be at a resort near LA. My point was that regularly setting up time during the workday (like once a month that LinkedIn1 mentioned) is not sustainable because client work always comes first. PwC has a thing this summer called “Fridays Your Way” when you can decide to do what you want post 12 pm. No internal meetings are supposed to be scheduled but I’ve even had meetings put on my calendar for 5pm, and barely anyone I work with actually respect the protected time, because client work is always the top priority. People will choose to deprioritize connectivity events in order to get the work done and live their lives. All this to say that during the working hours, it is highly unlikely that a regular connectivity event is sustainable over the long run.
I straight up don't ever want to see a coworker again. My happy hours were never free. And I always ended up saying something cringe, only to be haunted by the memory until the next happy hour, when a new folly would overwrite the previous one...

I promise this is a true story and if she’s here she can confirm, good thing she’s cool and not like many who may take offense and not realize. I went to a huge happy hour for our office in NYC because we have offices assigned in cities even though nobody goes to them, and our HR rep for our practice was there. She’s a woman, I’m a man. I had just arrived and extremely nervous being surrounded by a bunch of people I’d never met, not knowing where I’m supposed to stand or who I should talk to and how I should start the conversation.
Anyways, she comes walking up to me with a big smile as she recognizes me as we’d been to dinner when she took our entire project out to a really expensive dinner probably a year back. I did not recognize her at first. She had lost a lot of weight and it wasn’t until she said “had written her name here” that I realized and it was a bit awkward because I felt she might think I had forgotten her name, which I would’ve remembered, and I don’t know why but I just blurted out, oh I’m sorry you’ve lost a lot of weight I didn’t even recognize you 🤦🏻♂️. But she was super nice and said thank you, I don’t remember what I said after that as I felt super awkward, but that setup the rest of the happy hour where I kept replaying that and being awkward with everyone else I interacted with because I was in my head making sure I didn’t say say anything else that may get me cancelled

I’d personally rather get home to my kids than linger around after work to make small talk, but I realize everyone has different priorities 🤷🏼♀️
End them. I LIKE LIVING MY LIFE
💯
I’m good never seeing another person again!

There's nothing wrong with socializing with colleagues, but I do not understand why connectivity events are so important to some people. Most of y'all are just not that interesting and office happy hours are dull af.
Rising Star
This. About time we held company events that were good for socialization, company moral and employee health. Drinking at work really does marginalize those who either don't (religious, health, need to drive back to kids) or can't (recovering AA, prescription drug interactions, pregnancy). Not to mention that information flows from loose lips or worse, inappropriate comments.
Time to start rock climbing, paint nights, volunteering, or team games. Honestly, just let everyone WFH and have a team building even in a resort in Cancun yearly.
Your suggestions sound like fun. However, something about the last sentence strikes me as odd but I can’t quite put my finger on it…
From what I see, it’s generally people who are older that have families already that have this type of POV. Myself and other young people generally want to socialize and meet people more often.
Rising Star
Older people like socializing too, otherwise bday parties and backyard BBQing wouldn't exist. Just that older folks have responsibilities and things to do after 5pm that younger folks might not have. Get us a nanny and we'll happily stay up till 4am partying. That's why conferences are so fun.
I miss them. Most of my coworkers are friends of mine and a free round of drinks or three is great.
K, but what about those of us that are single with no kids and like their coworkers? Can we still do our thing on the company’s dime, or do we have to stop because some people have FOMO?
“And an important part of that overhaul should be to leave booze-fueled socializing in the past—no more enticing bar carts parked near the cubicles and tipsy retreats on company time, but also no more colleague happy hours centered on beer and wine. It’s a new world, post-pandemic, and in it, the office should be dry”
Who the f are you to say what employers should do
Happy hours need to die. Dinner with close colleagues can stay.
Rising Star
Yesss please never a “strongly encouraged” aka forced happy hour ever again. I’d rather get home to my kids and spouse. I’d rather have drinks with actual friends on the weekend.
Rising Star
I think the trick is to have a diversity of events; hiking for people that want it, park meets, happy hours etc. You’re always free to choose which ones you attend and which you don’t. I’m very pro-HH though so I’ll see you there 🍻

This is probably a me thing - but I was never good at happy hours. It would start with a few drinks in the office, then the bars, and the next thing you know it’s 1am and I’m awkwardly trying to sleep with my coworker 🤦🏻♀️
The next day id just replay the whole thing in my head to determine if it was actually fun or just super cringe.
*edit - now that I’m thinking about it, was definitely not a me thing. Most people are horrific at happy hours.
Happy Hours are the worst thing Ich existence… especially when you don’t drink
Escape rooms pls
I always sensationalized (in my head) the idea of fun coworkers, travel, happy hours/events in other cities etc. It never materialized.
Now I am 40+ and still craving this pipe dream. Sigh…
WFH showed me that I could do 8 hours “work” in legit 3-4 hours while still being able to go to the gym, save on gas, watch Stephen A Smith destroy Max Kellerman on First Take & not deal with any fake love from coworkers.
I love a good happy hour, but I can live without it. I’d rather go to random professional mixers, meet people while golfing or connect with college friends who are doing great things; more genuine relationships built
