Episode 60 | Pass the Work Happy Hour Vibe Check

Question

Hey Work Wives, it's Victoria from Scottsdale, Arizona. I started my current job all virtual and while we’re settling into a mostly-remote hybrid, our CEO wants to bring people in quarterly for socializing and happy hours. I’ve not really done much socializing in the context of work and I’m not a big drinker, so I don’t even know where to start. Help!

Summary

It’s your first team happy hour since returning to the office. What do you order? 

Answer carefully, because in Corporate America, your interaction with alcohol says something about you.

In this episode, Vanessa & Holland walk you through how to deal with the team happy hour or the department dinner whether you’re an alcohol nerd, completely sober, or somewhere in between.
