You folks make me sad sometimes. Just be normal and grab a drink with your crew once and a while, it wont kill you. It makes the job easier all around. You’ll feel more comfortable asking for and receiving favors from each other. It builds camaraderie. It gives a chance to organize or at the least vent. Just be normal.
As others said it Def depends on the job. At my last two retail jobs I met my only real current friends. We would go bowling or karaoke or go play pool. One time a few of us even went and took a bunch of shrooms on Halloween. Certainly depends on the coworkers.
It’s also a good opportunity to talk shot about the boss and talk about organizing and shit.
My nearly successful union drive at my old job started in a bowling alley over a couple pitchers of beer.
I can’t afford it and I don’t drink. I get what you are saying, but ‘just be normal’ comes off as ableist bullshit advice though and doesn’t mean anything. It’s normal for me and everyone I know to not go to a bar after work.
I actually did join a coworker for a drink not long ago and had a soda haha. I would never have been the type to sit at a bar but this one in particular is pretty cool. I usually do have chiller vibes than my comments online suggest, sorry if I came off a bit hostile.

Everyone is missing your chill vibes tho lmao order a club soda.
E: this felt shitty and I deleted it, but then restored it since comrade was nice enough to reply. Sorry for being an ass you’re cool.

Depends on context, workplace vibes can vary dramatically. Some you might feel comfy broaching hanging out with, others you might not.
