Yes. Fully remote tech company, these events are the one time a year where the entire company actually gets together in person.

And did they give you the shoes so you could walk to the year end function? How long did it take you?

Some pretty dom Naaiers in this thread if I’m honest, taste is relative & all that.
Hence I always state: YMMV.

Nope but I'm hoping it's a strip club.

Now that's a year end function I wouldn't mind going to. Imagine if it's at The Grand, with all that delicious food, oh jeez, I can taste it already, the lamb is amazing, the sushi, that selection of deserts, mmmm.

My previous company almost every event ended at the whiskey bar and then the strip club.
3-4 times a year.
Oddly enough never the year end function from what I can remember, that was the more family friendly affair and also didn’t get sponsored by our upstream providers.

Just found out my new big tech department YE function gives like 3 drinks vouchers to each staff member. After that you pay. Lol.

Our end year function is at the office again. During office hours. Don't mind it, really, it's just very loud usually, which I don't like (loud music that I do not like and people yelling over each other to be heard).
Once a year so meh.

quite interesting having a YE function over teams it seems,
I guess its better than a drinking festival and then a hearty brawl in Isando
does give me time to do what I want to do afterwards,
never enjoyed alcohol and shenanigans anyway

Better find yourself a new job, that's just unacceptable.

Last day of work for my current employer is 6th December as I am being retrenched. So I'll be a house husband/stay-at-home-dad for the rest of the year.

Non drinker here so I find it amusing rather than deal breaking. I can just imagine the consternation it is causing though. I am also wondering what I could sell my tickets for to some of my colleagues. Good part is its a day time event somewhere in muldersdrift on a Friday. If you are gonna pay me to not work, and provide lunch and snacks. I will come check it out I guess. Just very different to the last department where there was no such thing as a limit to the drinks people could order.
