| Should any employer meet staff out for a drink or two or organize a night out? | |

| My guy has his own very small business and he has done this. I appreciate it creates a common bond while allowing the crew to vent. But I think a lunch or dinner meeting is a better way to go.
When drinks are part of the equation, I feel that invites inappropriate conversations. | |

| In most cases I think it's wrong. I know I don't want to spend time with my bosses ~ or any of the bosses ~ outside the job. I didn't even like it when mine wanted to take us out for an occasional lunch. She finally stopped trying. | |

| at jcpenney, as a reward for certain sales promotions, the managers would take us out to a local bar/restaurant and present us with awards and gift certficates... while a certain number of drinks were on the company tab.
At the post office... our bosses go to the bar and bowling alley (which has a bar) with us all the time... but we spend more time at work together than we do with our families... we are all very close | |

| Lunch and dinner would be fine, and if someone wanted to have a drink with their meal, so be it. But a night out specifically for drinking? Naw, I'd rather they didn't. | |

| Umm, I guess it depends. It would prob. be better suited for a specific occasion. I had an employer who threw grand Christmas parties for all of the workers. We would go out to a restaurant, esp one that served drinks, and drink and eat all night on their dime. They were cool about it. | |

| I can see maybe a holiday party, but even then, it's not my thing. I work with everyone at work, and I don't need to spend my free-time with them, too. | |

| It all depends on where you work and what type of relationship you have with the bosses. I don't see where there is anything so wrong with it. | |

| It would be fine with me. I appreciate any employer who seeks to create a camaraderie/kinship with their employees. It creates a better working relationship, IMO. | |

| Should they (like it's required)? No but I worked one place where a bunch of us including one of the partners hung out socially. He bought more than his share of rounds but the party wasn't on him. | |
