Work social functions
So my job is already planning their holiday party and the boss has came out and said any activity that involves drinking will require all employees to Uber. Which got me thinking of the one time an old job took a party bus to a Chiefs game and one of my co workers got so ****ing hammered she ended up being REAL flirty with all of the male employees and ended up puking her brains out and passing out on the ride back from the game.
People forget while these things are intended to be fun you're still at work by extension. What's your funny story about a social work function? |

My first day at Cabelas was an office retreat. I had met precisely my supervisor and that's it. We golfed (which I'm terrible at because I was a poor college student) and then had beers. I had NO CLUE whether that was cool or not. I think I went last and drank one.
I did not need to move 500 miles away to get fired on the first day. |

The lower paying the job, the more fun the work parties are.
Your career progresses and people get uptight.

It is amazing the amount of people who can't keep their shit together at work functions just because a few drinks are around.

I've only attended work parties while I was in college and I was a party guy.
I got so black out drunk at one of them, I had a leather jacket and I put it on a bar stool. This guy that I worked with had a leather biker jacket with embroidering on the back of it. I was so ****ed up that I grabbed his jacket thinking it was mine and started yelling at him "WHAT THE **** DID YOU EMBROIDER ON MY COAT MOTHER****ER?" They never let that one die, they made fun of me for a while after that and I deserved that. But ya, after college I no longer drank at any work functions and now it's been like 6 or 7 years since I've drank at all. |

Don't drink at company parties. It is a must.

This is good advice. In fact, avoid them if possible.

I avoid work functions at all cost. I like my work to stay at work. When I'm off the clock, I don't want to spend time with people I work with every day.

While that was always my stance on things, thats why Im a professional poker player and not some upper management guy. Its not good for your career, but I found it hard to care about the politics of it all when I was a 9 to 5 guy.
