Company “holiday parties” has transformed into “Team building exercises”. Also, a lot of people are becoming less engaged in the workplace due to the distrust and dissatisfaction employees have with their employers. The relationship between employee & employers has become a means to an end. 🤷🏻♂️
A long time ago, it used to be in a nice venue where people dressed up. It was an actual nice classy event that employees looked forward to. Now it’s so washed down that it’s almost an unappealing chore.
This is my feeling as well. My current work party, while during work hours, people will get a bit more dressed up for it (we get 4 hours to allot to going to the venue and attending). But there’s an expectation to network while there. It feels mandatory to attend and hurts the fun 😕
I prefer the company host a Galla Dinner at a private venue on a Friday night for a couple hours. If the company is going to wine and dine me at a classy event to show their appreciation, I’m not going to object.
