I’ve been at my job for 3 weeks and am still learning the culture in the office. I’ve worked in office environments previously, but never before (aside from TV) have I seen so much liquor, particularly in one employee’s office. I believe this person is senior level (I don’t actually work with anyone in this office, my team is located elsewhere so I don’t really know other people’s roles/titles too well), and he has a liquor collection in his office that he insisted I could have some anytime? Wtf?
He also showed me where some hard seltzers were located throughout the office. I asked if they had a lot of office parties or reserved those for clients and he said no. I jokingly said I’d come take a swig if I had a stressful day and he said I was more than welcome to, like seriously…
How is that allowed during business hours? Is it one of those things where people offer to be kind but they don’t really mean it? (I don’t actually drink so I don’t care I’m just trying to understand the dynamic).
ETA: There’s also a huge fucking keg in the conference room lol
