What happened to happy hour?

I remember being invited out to drinks with my department. I told them I spend 50+ hours a week managing them I don't want to spend time with them unless Im paid.

They younger employees liked me more after that, the old hag complained to HR

Imagine having to uber to a bar and back just to drink or even worse, have a designated driver. Just legalize drunk driving already.

This. 100% this.

20 years of "YOUR COWORKERS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO FUCK THEM OR EVEN FIND THEM ATTRACTIVE. REPORT ANY AND ALL NONCOMPLIANCE AND TRUST THEY'LL DO THE SAME TO YOU."

why the heck doesn't "the gang" ever want to get together after closing time?

Transition to a low trust society.

Keep them in line like this.

Drunk boss on floor don't care.

I'm millennial and I've never had more than a sip of alcohol my entire life.

I'm millennial and I've never had more than a sip of alcohol my entire life.

This. I'm not being paid to tolerate them outside work.

Lunch stopped being paid. Used to be 9-5, and you were done. Then they said "well that's 8 hours but we don't want to pay lunch, make it 9-6 or 8-5". That hour would have been happy hour. Now it's a working hour. Everyone goes home after, more tired than in the past

As a former addict to the liquid kike, this pleases me.
Do not sup from the kikel cup lads.

People don't drink as much as they use to. Now happy hour means you get a 20% discount on horderves and starters.

hazy ipa is a foreign designed bioweapon

Drinking is retarded and always has been

Happy hour used to mean you could get a beer in a bar for about what a single beer costs at home. Now it's the same price as a 6-pack, and outside of happy hour it's almost twice that

homosexual noises

nigger happy hour beer costs 11.50

not a fuckin chance

The random corpse in the background really brings this all together.

Milloomer here. Used to drink in high school, caught a false rape charge that was eventually dismissed. Why would any man risk drinking socially anymore, the only reason to ever do it was to slightly increase your chance of getting pussy.

2007

The pub i used to like to frequent would give you two double cheeseburgers for $2 if you bought a $10 pitcher at lunch, also they had free peanuts and you would just throw the shells in the floor and a cute college girl in booty shorts would go around bending over sweaping them up

2025

No peanuts, the employees are all 5p year old jeet men, a burger is $20 and the same pitcher is $25

The random corpse

cozy AF right? Bros know how to party.

Most places have HR these days that will fire you if you're drunk at work. Roasties ruined it.

Eating out is ridiculously overpriced in America and spending money to be around people you have to spend time around anyways is annoying.

I live in Massachusetts. It's not legal here

Used to drink in high school, caught a false rape charge that was eventually dismissed. Why would any man risk drinking socially anymore, the only reason to ever do it was to slightly increase your chance of getting pussy

You did it wrong faggot. You GIVE the booze to the girl to get her naked easier and not remembering sheeeit.

You must be gay.

zoomers just want to go home and watch their favorite streamers and goon out to ethots

The fastest way to a promotion for a female coworker is to claim you in some way made a pass at her. Simp 50 year olds will happily fire you and divery 10k of your former salary to her raise. The entire HR department was built on that. The fastest way to taking the Devil's chains is to have trust in a woman, any woman. Their will to power is through Lie.

go to lunch with coworkers

they just complain about trump the whole time

make a bunch of obviously false statements that makes it clear they have never looked into a single thing the leftist media tells them

That's a never again from me, dawg

Ya I know those stories. Never got hit with an R word accusation, but I did get #Metoo'd out of a job in college by a girl that I had never been alone in a room with, she just told the faculty I "made her uncomfortable" without qualification and that's all it took. When the dust settled, the real reason was she was a crazy bpd thot who once saw me in a Trump had, and my friends psycho ex GF gassed her up because she hated me.

Shit is expensive with niggers demanding 20% tips at minimum and prices being fucked due to inflation.
Also people are now giant faggots now a days work drink parties and outings used to be fun

Have a drink, goy

Drinking is nigger behavior. We will not drink the jews pee you fucking fag bitch

Normies talk way too much, blah blah mouth noises. Happy hour would be fucking hell.

millennial here. It's this simple, you didn't pay us enough. You get no loyalty back. You as in boomers and Gen xers. None of us have disposable cash, at least not enough to make it worth spending an extra hour or 2 with the assholes making all the money so they can feel "rich" and buy me a drink. Go fuck yourself idiots.

Lol, dude on floor…

great point.
czeched and truth-pilled

I honestly don't even get the appeal. Normies are insufferable and just believe whatever nonsense is on the TV or from their biased social media "influencer". But I've always been kind of a loner too.

Or something is right.

only people who hate their wives/gfs go to those.

i know this will blow chuddies and incel brains

BBBBB-BUT

MOST ZOOMERS ARE NOT 21 YET

ZOOMERS DRINK LESS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DRINK AS THEY ARE NOT 21 YET

MOST ZOOMERS I KNOW ARE 18-20 AT MOST

40 hours a week isn't enough time to spend with your coworkers

I just don't get it

Because zoomers are insufferable faggots. They don't even want to be around each other.

Says something that might be considered offensive.

Get fired

try to hit on a female coworker?

Fired.

hook up with a female co worker, but not that hamplanet who works in HR who is desperate

Fired, and then she makes sure it's as hard a possible for you to get a job going forward

Make a joke/comment around male coworkers

One of them WILL run off to HR, getting you fired. He still does not get a smidge of tang.

Now add on to the top that bars are extremely expensive.

Diversity and inclusion has ruined every single public space.

Lol, dude on floor…

yeah that vidya cracks me up everytime. One of the classics.

Zoomers don't want to be degenerates

This is a problem!

Nu-Anon Babble everyone

This.

drink at work

That’s not even what happy hour is you no friends faggot

is it really so hard for boomers to understand why people wouldn't want to get drunk before driving home?

Yeah, I keep a cooler in the car for the drive home.

Saves time
Saves money
Nice and toasty by time finish commute with my driving brews.

Drinking and driving is nigger behavior

Drink prices went up along with every other fucking price far faster than pay increased.
And I'm sure NCLB and Common Core and prison-esque school atmosphere didn't help Z's and even alot of millenials "risk-adverse".

Yall fools all training in just one style gonna get smoked yo.

You gots to be a master of all of it.

women show up and ruin it.

nailed it.
i worked in the world where women were 10 maybe 20%
it was so much better.
you can still experience what it was like in the late 70s, 80s, 90s in japan today to some degree, though i hear its fading fast.
women are so much fun when they are just around and not in charge. women who are breadwinning because they have to or think they have to are fucking cunts

People are working six days now. They want all the time they still have to be away from anything of the work.

I have real responsibility's outside of work. Also drinking and getting drunk is cringe.

forced recreation is cringe
secretly inviting out the cool people so it's not official and getting sloshed is based, the tradition lives on through here

Because brown people with accents

Is this real. I only heard for swiss and germans doing something like this.

booze costs 3 times as much as it used to. A fucking budweiser is $8 now.

Women and smartphones.

maybe 1/4 male coworkers is worth getting a beer with
taking a female coworker out to drink is like playing Russian roulette

The ascension of the HR Harpie has created an environment where people must carefully hone their work persona and wear it only as a mask, emsewise an Incorrect Opinion may slip out and ruin their livelihood.

Go back to facebook, boomer

tradies. we still do

we aren't faggot ass bitches that work in an office. you office trash are the absolute worst of humanity and i would rather drink drain cleaner than hang out with you ratfuck scum

that's cautionary advice that people like to ignore, then their shit gets fucked up

for how manu beers that guy crushes he's in amazing shape. prob a lumberjack or something

The consequences are just way too high now.

You used to be able to laugh off your first DUI, it barely got real after your second, and you weren't truly fucked until your 3rd. Now it seems like paying for a DUI is just backbreaking for 99% of younger people.

Today going out to have drinks feels like an interrogation. You have to say something but no matter how drunk can't say anything interesting or lose your shit. You used to be able to tell racists and sexist jokes and bitch about everything and say far too much without anyone caring the next day.

a) in some places they're getting uglier fatter cheaper and browner. Who in their right mind would want to spend a second around them if they don't have to.
b) it's hard enough not to be reported for antisemitic transphobic toxic masculinity while sober. Letting loose around coworkers is just asking for trouble. Bunch of snivelijg backstabbing little bitches.

for how manu beers that guy crushes he's in amazing shape. prob a lumberjack or something

Alcohol is not fattening if you don't eat much with it.

If you eat food and drink, or eat while still hungover, then you get fat.

Anons have already painted the picture, I’ll say that it is like playing Russian roulette, if instead 5 of the chambers are loaded and one is blank. I would strongly recommend unless your popular and can handle or alcohol to stay as far the fuck away as you can from work drinks with big groups of wagecucks. It’s infinitely more preferable to just go to random bar with and get sloshed with random people.

Go back to facebook, boomer

KEK!
You a mad fag huh?
YWNBAW

I host a monthly bbq for nights of columbus
After work I want to go fishing or something and generally dont get along with them

wat

is this real

No, alcohol is very calorie dense. Your body doesn't care where the calories come from or when they are consumed, it will turn them into fat if you don't work them off.

society has gotten so fucking lame today
niggers shooting up heroin on the streets is just fine
but if a White man drinks and drives a bit thats a huge issue

*knights

When was the last time you bought a drink at a bar?

I've never worked with a woman who wasn't a receptionist or a waitress. I also stopped drinking at 30 for my blood pressure.
Where do you fuckers work lol?

When your body processes alcohol, it only processes alcohol. Fat isnt burned, but directly stored to be burned after the alcohol is processed. You still end up with fatty liver, because alcohol is basically just sugar.

Why would I want to talk to someone while I'm busy drinking myself to death

2 years of pandememe with the media/science saying eating at a restaurant was enough to kill you

everything got more expensive

commuting

drinking the Ambev piss isn't something I want to do

I don't like my work and I can't stand my coworkers, I want to do my job and get back home as fast as possible

Not at all, you just sound like a fat Gen Xer so I was making fun of you for it.

The oldest Zoomers are 28 you retard.

why aren't zoomers paying $9 for a beer at restaurants

We just had a thread about this.

one white gay dude, three fems all differing ethnicity

totally normal event everyone should miss

I don't have any coworkers and I don't drink

Drinking is retarded. It kills the liver and causes a myriad of other cancers. It also lowers testosterone and makes you fat, and contributes to balding and worsening eyesight.

Weed edibles and magic mushrooms while watching movies is my idea of a Friday night

It was 2.50 last time I drank that piss in highschool. 2011

Zoomers don't want to hangout and drink at work, something is wrong

Probably having 3 beers and getting pimped for a DUI on some bogus traffic stop. It's absolutely criminal that people are being arrested and milked for BAC as low as .08
Took a bullshit traffic law enforcement class when I was dealing drugs, and needed to stay on mommy and daddy's health insurance, and the guy teaching the class was some Lake Villa Cop who said he didn't arrest people for DUI unless they were .14 and over, because he said that .08 was bullshit, and that at .14 people knew they were there.

All my fellow knights are 50-70 around here

And to think in the 60s, dudes would drink IN the office.

They also wore asbestos underwear and lynched niggers.

Alcohol is degenerate and jewish, good on them for cutting it out. I didn't drink for most of my life, only started recently because I needed some way to dull the pain of being in my 30s with no gf and it was either drink or kill myself.

Avoid it if you can.

I work with a bunch of filipinos and I hate normies.

Because men just can't stop raping their female colleagues

God damn, I fucking hate people so much. I drink to get away from these assholes, I sure don’t want to drink with them.

US actually has better limit than most of europe. Here its mostly 0.5 with some countries like poland being even more retarded with 0.2.
And you always find boomers in support of these laws but when they were young they drove with 2.0 and would spend the nightnin jail at best or pay a small fine.

why aren't you drinking yourself to death

jesus it's real

it's ridiculous hearing my dad tell stories of getting wasted, getting pulled over, and being told to walk home with no other repercussions. Apparently this happened like 3 times.

Otherwise, he's just some schmuck with two homes here in the states and a 2br apartment in thailand, with nothing going to me. All provided by a job swapping fucking tires on cop cars.

Drinking out is a ripoff. The music is awful. And the lighting is often really bad. And the seating uncomfortable.

The only people who want to go out and waste money like that, are women.

And that’s a good thing, work is for work, not fun social time

It doesn't have to be Chinese tier though

Why isn't it going to you? Cashnado?

The last thing I want at work are coworkers and alcohol

And getting a DUI now is career suicide in a way it didn’t used to in the boomer times

inappropriate workplace situationships that end up crashing and burning every company that encourages people to engage in social shit outside of work. he said she said yadda yadda rumor mill bullshit that turns people against each other and cliques them up and now you have departments that don't fucking talk to each other or are all secretly fucking each other until someone gets caught in the workplace bathrooms.

We could have that today but that would involve boomers with 2 houses loosing influence. And we cant have that.

This are all things that happen anyways. Also americans are weird. If i want to fuck my coworker I will do it. My boss has no place telling me who i will fuck.

Yeah im straight up not hanging out with shitjeets or boomoids
Did that shieet when i was an exec chef for the sole purpose of fucking my blown out roastie FOH servers but thats it

Yeah I was gonna say, it’s gotta be the sex-integrated workplace. Both because women change the bro dynamic with their presence, and because they turn their vicinity into an arena for sexual competition.

OP is a retard and a faggot.

NOBODY CAN AFFORD IT ANYMORE. How is that so hard for you faggots to understand?

I wonder what she said to make him snap kek

Cashnado?

essentially. Travel is expensive, and since I help him with his paperwork, I see how much he is blowing on flights and withdrawals. He's 73 and still going strong so unless he croaks (he wont) within the next 5 years, there's not much left for all the siblings.

Happy hour is still $4 or $5 per 16oz drink.
Burger and endless fries for $10 is probably seen as a decent price.
It's at 5PM, people can't make it or want to go home.

You belong in a concentration camp

farewell drinks because I'm leaving

Coworkers start talking dating apps

Coworkers insist I get on dating apps

I rebuke them with extreme prejudice

Coworkers tell me to get therapy

If they're not drinking what are they doing?

Drinking the alcohol Jew

NGMI retards

Good

we have two kinds of happy hours at my job: the first is one with my close work friends, all male, who talk about everything except work and go golfing on weekends; the second is a school-wide one where women go to bitch and everyone is talking about work.

the first one happens almost weekly, or at least 2 a month; the second one happens maybe once every 3 months or whenever our social committee decides to remember they exist

hangout with who? zoomers barely have friends, they have super close knit groups that they trust with everything and share with absolutely no one else because in this day and age you mention you have a passing interest in "slightly girly thing" and its plastered over 34 different peoples social media's calling you lame and gay and a creep in the private language and lingo kids invent to get pass their parents just like EVERY generation did in their own way. its fucked.

when someone pulled my pants down on the bus, and it took my underwear with it and exposed my junk to the entire bus, it sucked. humiliating. 1 year later people laughed about it to me here and there, maybe a nickname, but it was over. fuckin today that shit gets recorded, goes on youtube and sits at either the exact amount of people at your school x 5, or goes fucking viral. fuck that shit, why do anything in public or risk anything with anyone ever again.

Side hustling.

Yeah shortly before and after 2008 all the chain restaurants were bought up by venture capital companies and their slop food was turned into gigaslop food. Can't have affordable liquor ever either. I honestly don't understand how these places are even open. Like fast food, sure lazy nogs will get fried chicken every night and never cook, but who's paying for these garbage sit down restaurants that have higher overhead? I've been thinking they were all going to faip within like a year or two of covid (if not before) but they're still around, with completely empty parking lots

There's a happy hour in my pants. And the Asian is invited.

beer is mostly water dude

they have to get to their second job so they can have a roof over their head and food in their belly

you should be delighted to work for your employer

in my old job they would not trust you if you didnt get hammered like once a month and gave them incriminating material to blackmail you or at least some videos of you puking

I barely get to see my husband because I work over 50 a week. Why the fuck would I want to spend more time with these zoomers faggots while they make tik tok videos when I can go home and watch racists videos with my husband and dog. Most of my coworkers are DEI hires. I’m literally one of the only few white, straight people there. Working with these worthless gay niggers turned this white girl into someone that has to actively try not to scream “nigger” every 5 minutes.

Not going to defend drinking but you sound like a fucking faggot holy shit

My work place is too diverse. I don't want to drink with them. I have nothing in common with them. Its not hatred. I just have nothing in common with them.

if you haven't got sexual harrasment notices have you even worked?

I work an office job in Santa Monica, and the population of it is aggressively alcoholic. There are 2 bars built into the office for employees, and 3 times a week there is an event for such and such department where everyone stops working around 2pm to go drink, at least 1 or 2 after parties for the office a week to go and drink and dance to music. The average worker has a vendor to attend to at a lunch at least twice a month where they give you drinks, managers do this more and also just have offsites for drinking amongst themselves, on slow days when most are "working" from home, these managers, kitchen staff, receptions, IT, facilities are just fucking around drinking with a few "rockstars" doing all the work. It is an alcoholic's paradise and flexed by millennials as the greatest part of their life seemingly and a great way to avoid their families. I'm constantly invited to external happy hours every thursday and friday by 2 different teams but am an autist who is usually looking at their phone while they socialize and never was a drinker so I've refused most of these offers.
I believe this culture applies to a lot of companies in the area after post-COVID return to office plans were never fully implemented and things are "if it ain't broke don't fix it", if sales decline we will probably see restrictions on this but for now they are still going up.

All of the above. “Victim” culture is so popular among millennials and zoomies if you say the wrong thing or make the wrong joke usually around a women it’ll spiral into you being labeled “nazi/assulter/racist/sexist” and immediately fired. Remove women’s rights and from the workplace if you want “happy hour” again

In the Netherlands a lot of companies still have a friday afternoon drink. So they quit early to get drunk.

Although with my current job, only like 30% of the people work on friday. And most work from home. So they don't do it.

women were always there and sometimes you could fuck them and it would become office gossip fodder. The problem is Zoomers turned every slightly sub-optimal sex encounter into the same level as full blown knock you over the head drag you into an alley and fuck the shit out of you rape.

I'm a white guy and I crack a tall can of beer while on the drive home from work from my low-paid retail job, and finish it while parked in the asphalt driveway next to my well-kept, paid-off house. Also drink a vodka cooler at dinner break in the parking lot at work to wash down the takeaway. Have a cigarette. Only poor scarediecats with low coordination never drink and drive.

The problem is that trust between colleagues in the workplace is dead, particularly with the younger generation.

You can only really go out on the piss with colleagues who you trust, because if some snivelling cunt brings up the dirty joke you made about the secretary with the massive tits after 6 pints, you're going to be dragged into HR and possibly lose your job.

And also this.

Like others said, it has multiple reasons.
1. Nobody cares about collegaues anymore, HR ruined it, generational trust broken, risking me too is too dangerous.
2. People have a less to spend on things, they can't afford to buy a house, etc.
3. It costs more conpared to the past. If I go out drinking and I would order a couple beers, maybe a sandwich etc. I would easily leave like 2 hours of wage or even more.
4. People have less time, many are commuting an hour to their work and another back to home, that's with an 8 hour workday (plus often the 1 hour unpaid lunch!) means with 8 hour of sleep, they have 5 hours to do anything with their time. They also don't have a stay at home wife, so they need to cook, clean, wash and shop (they more often than not, don't even have a gf to just share the chores with).

exactly as you said.
I'll continue in my direction.

we are being squeezed of everything : time, money, energy
we have become min/max numbers on spreadsheets run by MBAs, with DEI as the pressure relief (for diverse people only)
...all while our governments have printed WAY too much money.

drinking with colleagues is too much. DRINKING is too much. If I'm getting intoxicated, I want a better bang for my buck.
..
and drugs kill you these days.
so NO. Fuck off with your 10$ Pints of beer and 5$ tips for a overpaid bartender/waitress .
NO to girlfriends that sit around smoking weed and waiting for you to entertain them.
NO .

And ruin you life bc you said something spicy when hammered.
Seriously zoomers are deathly afraid on be intoxicated and say ing the wrong thing. Being a social pariah is worse than death to them.
