    Drinking with coworkers is always a huge risk. Especially if they’re a bunch of normie stepford smilers who’ll call HR on you for the slightest misstep.

      My favourite one is being anonymously called up on “excessive swearing” when I said “crap” once in a meeting. Our internal training basically encourages people to snitch on each other and by god do we gave some hall monitors here.

          We had a brewery right under our office for like 3 years. It was multiple times a week that we’d end up there lol. Ended up hiring like 3 people were met in that place.

          The post work beers were also a great time to discuss compensation and get everyone on the same page. As we grew the hall monitors started showing up and that had to go underground sadly.

            Lol nice. That was basically how my oll fated attempt at forming a union began.

            Almost pulled it off before they caught on and started firing people.

    • Lol some of the worst binge drinking sprees and some of the most embarrassing shit I’ve done while drunk were with my coworkers on that horrible white collar job I had. Then again, the corporate culture very much encouraged getting hammered at every opportunity to forget you were working 14 hour days (of bullshit work) regularly.
