The staff all want things back to normal.

I see this commonly with teams that employ many people between 22 - 27. Sales development reps, junior associates, etc.

The 30+ crowd is not into it. [/quote]

The 50-65 crowd is into it. The staff with staff with stay at home spouse into it.

I say only staff where spouse works full time with young kids are not into it as much if during a weekday. But on weekends they all come [/quote]

I am 50+ and I am definitely not into this and for sure would not want to do anything work related on the weekend.

I think there are people whose social lives revolve around work, and people whose social lives are external to work.  If your social life depends on work, then yes, I can see why you look forward to these things and are sad when they don't happen.  But for those of us who have activities and friendships independent of work, all of these work social things essentially conflict with the things we enjoy doing.[/quote]

+1 and Vegas has really gone down hill.  Even though I never liked it.  What about New Orleans or another city with some history?[/quote]

Its fun for young adults and people with young kids but my teen would have zero interest in missing their stuff to go to that now.  We have been to Vegas pre-covid for work events as a family and it was fun but there is no way I'm getting on a plane and risking a few weeks of illness for a few days of fun.  It's way to disruptive for me to get sick to our family.   [/quote]

We did for the 17-22 crowd last event a big Jeep Off Roading. We did it in a mountain resort and let the kids do the off roading!!

Don’t know if we do that again. Like $500 a ride. Damn insurance! [/quote]

We own a Jeep so that’s not particularly exciting to us to do it through work.  Not a chance we’d go. [/quote]
