[quote=Anonymous]If you are their supervisor, give them some coaching! Not a “you should have been there!” but a “let me give you a bit of career advice… people notice. If you are looking for opportunities to advance, these kind on social get together are  pretty important.”

I can totally see how young people (or jaded old people) can tell themselves it doesn’t matter, and it likely doesn’t if they just want to get by at their job. But whatever people may want to tell you, it DOES matter if you want to advance, get thought of for good assignments, build relationships that make people inclined to do favors for you or give you the benefit of the doubt. I know for a fact that showing up at a majority of office happy hours, holidays parties, random work dinners, etc (even when I was a PT employee mostly working from home) if a large part of why career took off. Out of sight, out of mind. And now that I’m the big boss, I’m less inclined to give you grace if you make no effort to be part of the team. [/quote]
