Political thing. My view is that aside from being good at what you do at work, you still have to show up to these social things to move up or be not noticed negatively. My drill is to show up, social, wait for the freebies draws to end, stay for 1 more drink and say my goodbyes.
Going also means there is something to talk about aside from why you were not there.

Are you guys getting served alcohol? How do you guys behave at these functions? I've worked in many industries and usually the ones in Health Care I find where people are the most relax. Slutty behaving women at work, oh yeah.

Open bar with taxi chits. I usually have 2 or 3 for the duration of the night. Open bar or not, work functions aren't the places to get shit faced.

We've had alcohol, the first time i went to one of these functions I got tanked (about a dozen beers to myself). It was alright though, i still functioned and walked around normal, but I did say some fucked up shit.

ours has been cut for 2yrs now, going on a 3rd this year.
though we are getting a 'modest' bonus on top of our raise this yr...so it's something. but still nothing compared to over 5/6 yrs ago.
aye, same here. except no bonuses here. lol.
however, i did get my benefits and my wages back.

The company-wide one where we have to buy tickets to attend: no
There *used* to be a division-wide one(???) -- that went from open bar + taxi chits to 2 drink tickets ... i'll go if it's during office hours, otherwise forget it -- my excuse: gotta bail on time to pick up my kid. :P
The one paid for by the company that's looking after our IT infrastructure: hell yes -- great excuse to leave early from work, there are supposed to be 2 drink tickets, but if you bump into the upper suits they can snag you a few more.

Yeah I'm going. I usually go to most work functions. Good for visibility and to "show you're part of the team".

I usually go to work functions - get tanked - take my boss's money in pool. It's all good. But when the entire company is out, i scale it down, but i still get tanked.
That being said, not going this year, because my last official day of work is this friday ...whatsup? !
