Yes, I think it's normal to not have SOs. I've been to a few company parties that were done well and fun with my coworkers

Our holiday parties are during business hours. Otherwise, I’d stay home. That’s me. I don’t drink and in companies where it was on a weekend night, if they ever passed out bonuses, mine was on my desk Monday morning.

Yea it’s just one night. What’s the big deal

Eh. Depends on if our execs are flying in. I may attend for additional networking opportunities. Otherwise, I’d pass.

Yeah I would, don’t see a problem with it. Obviously it’s nice to include them but it wouldn’t deter me from going.

We've never been allowed spouses at previousl companies

Yes, think of it as a work event not social and it makes more sense, right?

Also for you are there people you can network with or spend time with that would make it worth your while. Even a few minutes with someone can make a difference down the road.

Just trying to look at the bright side, maybe.

Most definitely I would go!

I impulsively spent $400 on concert tickets before I left my last job. Now I’m entering my third month at a new job and I’m worried it’s too early to take off to go. At the very least I would have to sign off an hour or two early to be able to make it on time. But I feel awkward asking because generally I wouldn’t take off this early. For context, I have unlimited PTO.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
