[quote=Anonymous]What went wrong was that a group of people new to their jobs were in a social setting on someone else's turf with senior management. They weren't relaxed because they don't yet know these people well enough to know what the norms for "relaxed" in your workplace are. Things that I'd be wondering if I were one of the new employees: is okay to drink? to have a second drink (and I'd watch the boss for cues). What sort of sense of humor do they have? Is this a swearing or non-swearing culture? How long do I have to stay? Will I find my way home okay? When's the last bus? When's the last bus that runs on the 15 minute schedule not the 30 minute schedule? Did I bring a hostess gift? Was I supposed to? Not your fault, OP -- it's just not the kind of atmosphere conducive to a roaring party.[/quote]
