> a lot of harmful stuff happens to your team when everyone is drunk
As you've proven, having alcohol based events doesn't require anyone (and def not everyone) to get drunk.
> It's hard to work with someone who threw up in your Uber the night before
You clearly have some issues with people who drink to excess. That's your prerogative, so maybe you should work with different people.
- macksd 4y agoAnd how many different companies should I work at before I conclude that the industry in general could use a change and that it's not me that needs to make changes?
- el_benhameen 4y agoWait, what? I drink sometimes, I don’t mind events with drinking, but I would never think to drink the point of throwing up at a work event and would absolutely disapprove of anyone who does. Rather than asking people to filter companies based on the most noxious behavior from the most irresponsible team member, why not enforce a minimum bar for acceptable behavior? It’s not like puking is a job duty.
- bawolff 4y ago> You clearly have some issues with people who drink to excess. That's your prerogative, so maybe you should work with different people. Wtf? That's definitely not on the poster. I don't have a problem with an (optional) work happy hour, but its still work and a base level of professionalism is expected. People drinking to excess at work events is a major red flag for the company.
