I really look forward to work social events. I've gotten extremely close with several of my coworkers, and several of my coworkers are friends that I've had from past jobs or college. The work organized events are nice because work is paying for the food and drink, but on my own volition, I went hiking with coworkers and an ex co-worker on Friday, went to two of my coworkers' house on Saturday for their dog's birthday party (and to hang out with current and ex coworkers), and then today helped two of my coworkers move.
But I'm at a place that at least in the past really tried to prioritize hiring good people whom everyone would want to work with.
Are you hiring?
This is amazing and I am so happy for you.
