I can't make it to happy hours because I usually have to rush to daycare or I want to go straight home because I leave before my kids wake up.
I always attend our yearly holiday party!

no, because i don't have coworkers!
once i did a job share & occasionally we'd go to lunch.
-
Just went to a dinner party with coworkers a few weekends ago.
-
We all go to lunch every Friday together (the only day we work in the office). Me and two of the girls are close, and I think I'd still see them a few times when I go on mat leave.
-
I go to lunch with a few & one of my good friends works with me (was part of my wedding.) I used to party/happy hour with several of them but we've all grown up and gotten married, ect. so it doesn't happen. We still will occasionally hangout with a few for birthdays/ect.
-
I used to when I worked in my city. Now I work 100 miles away from home I don't. Its a shame because I really like them!
-
Yup, with a select group.
-
I made a couple of actual friends at work so we hang out outside of the office!
-
There are a couple of coworkers that I've occasionally hung out with outside of work. Twice they went with me to Ikea out of town and they came to my baby shower. We often go out to lunch too.
-
I did when I first started, but as those people left and new people came in I haven't.
-
Not really outside of work lunches we take.
-
Definitely. Some of my closest friends are people I currently or formerly worked with. I feel you build a special bond with your colleagues when you're in the education (especially special ed) field. At least, that has been my experience.
-
No, not really. I go to the holiday party, summer picnic and other on-site social events.
I am involved in a FF team with people from work.
-
I've worked with the same group of ladies for the last 6-7 years, were all in the same age range and often plan parties, outing etc. I've been to all of their weddings and they were at mine. One in particular i'm close with and we dog sit for each other and do a charity bike ride every year. Even our husbands have become friends.
-
No. We'll eat lunch together, but nobody is really close enough to hang out outside of the office. The majority of our staff is older and in a very different income bracket (think extremely wealthy).
-
Not as much as I used to. When invited I try to make time for it. I feel like it's important to maintain a good relationship with my coworkers, especially since it's such a male-dominated field
-
At my old office, we would get together with our coworkers quite a bit outside of the office. But this new place... blah.
-
no--my good friends at work all have kids so it's hard for us to get together outside of work. also i think we're sensitive to not encroaching on personal space.
-
Not really anymore. I used to more often, but it always has a way of turning dramatic.
-
Yep!
-
I never did. We would go grab lunch together during our lunch breaks together, but I don't consider that "outside of work". I don't even consider office holiday parties as "outside of work".
To me. if I never called them on a weekend to hang out, then they are only work friends. -
Over the years, I've made some really good friends with coworkers that I will hang out with outside of work (three of them came to my wedding), but in general, I don't hang out with my coworkers outside of work.
-
Yup. We'd go out to dinner or hang out at each others house.
-
Nope. They're all older than me and live far out in the burbs. There's some from another floor that I talk to occasionally, otherwise not. I'm closer with DH's coworkers than my own.
-
I have at past jobs but this company, no.
-
Not really... But I'm still somewhat new (7months). There are a couple ladies I would love to befriend but not only do they live in the opposite direction of work than me (making them over an hour away from me), it's also awkward to try and start something cause you just don't know if they like you like you like them... Yeah I am probably making this complicated lol.
-
Only when we're forced to. My boss just lovveedd "team building exercises" like birthday lunches. It's always awkward.
One of my best friends did get a job here a couple years after I was hired. We hang out just as we always did, I guess because we didn't meet through work.
