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.
