If you are one of the people who dread forced holiday fun, it may be a surprise for you to learn that some companies actually require attendance at work social events โ€” either explicitly or implicitly.

In my 20s, I always skipped the office holiday party. I love partying. I enjoy drinking. And a lot of my coworkers were young and attractive. I simply never heard of anything good coming out of that mix. Like: The risks (doing something foolish, losing respect) FAR outweigh the potential gains (flirting with someone? Or, maybe hooking up with them if you're really really discrete, but that felt unlikely in any of the places where our offices had parties.)
