[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fed workers in general hate each other so hard to have a party. I used to go to happy hours, celebrate birthdays, go to coworkers weddings,  parents funerals, heck we even do ski trips sponsored by company. We all liked each other.

Feds seem to hate work, hate coworkers.

I recall my super friendly company where we go to each other weddings and had a almost weekly Thursday happy hour I invited my whole dept to my beach house 120 miles away for a big BBQ and Keg party and told anyone could stay over. I had like 50 show up in a Saturday. I invited their spouses, gf and friends.

But Feds don’t do that even once a year wirg pay during work hours [/quote]
LOL! If Feds had replied that they liked having such holiday parties this same troll would be screeching about them wasting taxpayer dollars. [/quote]

I did not say to spend tax paydollars or have it on company time. But for instance my old dept was so then a women we all liked got married she invited all 40 in my dept to wedding with a guest and all 40 of us did attend. When My Mom died my Moms wake had half my co-workers at after work.

My company did not have paid events. One year I think I hung out with coworker after work maybe 40-50 times. All my friends knew my co-workers and such and a few friends had equally fun co-workers.

I was at a conference last week and a two C level people at major places. Think like Citigroup and Barclays both said in 2026 their main goal is LUNCH for employees. The staff is back to work and they dont know how to eat lunch with coworkers or even interact with co-workers anymore. The almost six years of being adrift since Covid and new hires since 2019 or new grads since 2019, the concept of going out to lunch co-workers is not something they know how to do and they are missing out on so much mentioring, networking, career enhancement.
