Ask HN: How are you teambuilding while in quarantine? Our company used to be very active with after-work events, like happy hours, karaoke nights, etc. With quarantine, we've found it a bit more challenging to organize social events. We tried a virtual happy hour for a while, but it fizzled out after a few weeks. What creative things have your teams done for social events while in quarantine? |
I always hated these after-work events you described. I'd rather spend my evenings with my wife and kids than with some random dudes. Even if I like them, I like wife and kids more.
Now if it's a happy hour during business hours, then it's fine. I will attend and leave at whatever is the time I leave work to go home.
In addition to happy hours we've gotten people on discord and done some coordinated gaming.
