You folks make me sad sometimes. Just be normal and grab a drink with your crew once and a while, it wont kill you. It makes the job easier all around. You'll feel more comfortable asking for and receiving favors from each other. It builds camaraderie. It gives a chance to organize or at the least vent. Just be normal.

As others said it Def depends on the job. At my last two retail jobs I met my only real current friends. We would go bowling or karaoke or go play pool. One time a few of us even went and took a bunch of shrooms on Halloween. Certainly depends on the coworkers.

It's also a good opportunity to talk shot about the boss and talk about organizing and shit.

My nearly successful union drive at my old job started in a bowling alley over a couple pitchers of beer.

I can't afford it and I don't drink. I get what you are saying, but 'just be normal' comes off as ableist bullshit advice though and doesn't mean anything. It's normal for me and everyone I know to not go to a bar after work.

Everyone is missing your chill vibes tho lmao order a club soda.

E: this felt shitty and I deleted it, but then restored it since comrade was nice enough to reply. Sorry for being an ass you're cool.

I actually did join a coworker for a drink not long ago and had a soda haha. I would never have been the type to sit at a bar but this one in particular is pretty cool. I usually do have chiller vibes than my comments online suggest, sorry if I came off a bit hostile.

Depends on context, workplace vibes can vary dramatically. Some you might feel comfy broaching hanging out with, others you might not.
