We had someone who came to work for us that told the whole company he was a recovered alcoholic and everyone was real nice about it. The bosses and co-workers in this story just sound like colossal jerks.
I actually have an opposite problem, though. We stock the fridge with craft beer but since everyone is a health nut (I use it as a terms of endearment) no one wants beer at 6:00 so sometimes I end up being the only one and that feels awkward. But I've been at the office 11 hours, I want to treat myself.
Also, I find the thought of Beer Pong at the office to be very alarming. Foosball, sure, but Beer Pong? What are we, Freshmen in college?
But I'm in a East Coast office. We're annoyingly all business here. It is probably different elsewhere.
- beamatronic 10y agoThe first time I experienced Beer Pong or Keg Stands was at a software company in the Bay Area edit: I didn't mind those at all. But I did not care for Pajama Day and the pressure to wear pajamas on Pajama Day
- highstep 10y agothank you for reminding me why I love being a remote worker :)
- ryandrake 10y agoI don't think it matters what coast you're on. Beer Pong at the office is probably considered inappropriate in almost any work setting.
- jqm 10y agoWho wants to drink a beer that had a ball in it that had been rolling around on the floor? Beer pong is just dumb all the way around even as a freshman in college.
- jps359 10y agoEvery single time I've played we filled the pong cups with water and have whatever you're drinking (beer, soda, cranberry juice) on the side. Whenever they sink a ball, just drink your own drink. I was under the impression most people played like this?
