[quote=Anonymous]I know I'm the outlier here, but I like the team building dinner party at a colleague's house.  That sort of event is common in my field, though we don't do it much at my current workplace, which is disappointing to me.  So, if it has traditionally benefited your work climate, please don't go making waves about ending it (as PPs are encouraging) just because of one dull evening.  Some nights are just off.

And PLEASE don't judge your food based on people's eating.  I'm known as a pretty good cook, and I've found that if food is buffet style, and people are eating and milling, they'll eat a ton.  If it's a sit down dinner, people often stick to just one portion.  It's the logistics of having to get seconds while everyone else is watching, not wanting to be the first/only one, not wanting to interrupt conversation, etc., I think.

You can obviously have these folks back over for a better event in a few months OR you could throw a dinner party for some of your close friends on a weekend with a bunch of booze and unhealthy food (no salad!), and I bet it will be a great event that will completely negate this one.[/quote]
