I absolutely hate that, and yes, that strikes very close to home. Over the years, I've had countless coworkers, peers and even a couple of managers, pressure me hard to drink. The pressure they're willing to apply skyrockets as they get more drunk. All I'm saying is, it's easier to deflect over zoom.
- gwbas1c 4y ago> as they get more drunk And that is the very hard line for a happy hour: No one should be "getting drunk" or otherwise visibly intoxicated on company time. That's something I'd bring up with HR / upper management or my direct. "I had enough pressure to drink to excess in my college fraternity. I don't want it in my workplace."
- klyrs 4y agoOh, I fully agree. Happy hour on campus is one thing; where it gets really dicey is at conferences/conventions and groups go out after hours.
