Are there often after-work gatherings where you work?

The company where I work tried to do that, but nobody cared at all 😂

When I used to work at a major retailer, I found the employees tended to migrate to those who were similar to who they were:

So the young single muslim women would befriend other young islamic women, the older white women would befriend the older white men, the middle aged Indian women would befriend other middle aged Indian women. The married couples that spoke poor English would befriend other married couples who spoke poor English.

Dramatic but natural

We have happy hours. They're not super popular but always get some people.

If there are, I wasn't told about them, but I'm fairly certain there aren't. It would've been quite challenging since we all work different hours

I thought you work in a family owned shop

There used to be, before the CoVid-19 pandemic. Now everything is derailed. 🙁

Bonne chose 😂

After-work gatherings can vary by workplace culture. At some companies, they are a regular part of the week, fostering team bonding. At others, interest wanes due to personal commitments or differing social preferences. In my experience, when gatherings align with employees' interests and provide a relaxed atmosphere, they tend to be more successful. Encouraging inclusive activities and being flexible with timing can also help boost attendance and enthusiasm. Ultimately, understanding and adapting to staff preferences makes a significant difference.
