same, but "the database admin and the three times divorced 39yo woman in the finance dept agreeing loudly on how horrible woke is and that you can only be a woman based on what's between your legs when you're born and you just arent allowed to say anything anymore"

i almost forgot that a while ago, i was on the verge of quitting because of this exact drat thing and the amount of regressive bullshit politics that circulates here

but then i was reminded of just how annoying job interviews are (by being in one of them) and realized that its unlikely to be much better at other places that would consider hiring me based on my skillset

at oldjob they had a fridge full of beer. when i got there, people would sometimes have one after five or so. by the time i left, nobody ever drank the beer. you were also not allowed to have a beer at lunch, even if you were eating at a restaurant or whatever. nobody really _listened_ to that, but apparently the sales dudes were getting wasted and made fools of themselves in front of some C-levels or board members or whatever. i do not understand why the response was "nobody drinks reasonably" rather than "fire the morons getting drunk at work, and continue doing this until there is no longer a problem" but welp

google had a handful of kegs in the kitchen downstairs from where i used to work and a bunch of liquor bottles in my team area. i never saw anyone drink to excess or anything like that, though. for all the booze that was _around_, people only drank it very occasionally. which was really nice - if you wanted a beer there it was, everyone expected that you'd act like an adult. but also there was no expectation that people _would_ be drinking.

now my team is in a different building, idk if the kegs are moving with them or what (our team was responsible for pointing the relevant vendors at the area, ordering, etc). but i'm perma-remote so

I was also wondering if there were legal issues with a company “allowing” an employee to drink to excess on free company alcohol on company property.

because of the american influence, nothing is technically legal in south korea, but they often turn a blind eye when it'd be annoying or w/e

in 2010 i worked at a place that had a bar fridge but it was only for fridays after lunch and locked the rest of the time.

since then my jobs are a lot more dry.

my current job there's no drinking outside of the annual summer party and xmas party (where we each get two drink tickets for after dinner drinking along with a taxi chit). if you do a company lunch and want a beer, you're on your own, and if you get sloshed you can expect to get a reprimand or worse but it virtually never happens anyway.
