...I'm not fond of office socials, especially mandatory socials. My professional relationships are not the same as my family relationships or friendships: I prefer to keep them separate. Events designed to manipulate one into another feel unnecessary invasive into my otherwise normally ordered world.
I totally agree with you on this. Being forced to socialize with my co-workers feels almost like an assault. I spend more time with these people than my own family or friends; I shouldn't have to give them any more of myself.
