Majority rules, and you're clearly not in it.
What do you have going on so important that night?

Leave at 10pm and come to the MM party

company parties can be fun, but Id still rather hang out with my friends than a bunch of people Im forced to spend 40+ hours a week with (even if I happen to like them)
- Mike - 11-30-2005
i am friends with my coworkers... we regularly hang out on weekends.

Not to mention it's a positive reflection on your attitude if you show up for company functions. Powers that be will take note of those that regularly don't attend company events.

matt, you should write a book.

If I ever got dinged on a review for not showing up to company events outside of work I'd throw a motherfucking fit. I dont get paid to show up for picnics and happy hours and it sure as hell isnt in my job description
I do go to them for the most part, because its to have fun and hang out with coworkers since otherwise you dont do it very often, not to get 'ahead' in any way. Maybe thats just a benefit of not working in big company. But if i dont show up, then I dont think twice about it. I've got a life outside of work, and its usually more important than sitting at a bar after work for happy hour.

However, getting trashed in front of the boss isn't necessarily the best way to get ahead
