Work social on a weekend?

[Purplelemon7]

Have you ever had a work social on a Saturday morning after a work party on a Friday night?

We have a few parties a year at head office. People come from our offices all in the UK to Yorkshire for them.

We haven’t had one for a while, due to the pandemic. But we have one in August booked. I live close by. But other people will stay over night and some people will get together the next day.

I think assuming it’s a lie because he lied 15 years ago, is really unfair.

Especially when you decided to forgive it and move on.

Yeah this is not a head office party. Those would be in London where we live.

Maybe it is unfair but can’t help the uneasy feeling in my gut and who wants to be anyones fool?

I've had work dinner dances where hotel rooms were provided and people met up for breakfast/brunch/a spot of sightseeing next day, but not a corporate event next day.

Hotel rooms were in the city where we worked so "commutable" but restricted to last train times if we went home.

I have to say there were always lots of people in the wrong rooms mind.

It was an example not a statement that it’s true if it’s a head office party. If our Glasgow office has a party, I would likely be invited as I work closely with them and we would meet up the next day. I will be going to their Christmas party.

Its not about it being head office. It’s about sometimes you can be invited to other offices get together. And sometimes that does include the en t day, especially if someone has travelled for it.

But I think you have already made your mind up.

I think this thread demonstrates the problems that can arise when you choose to stay with a cheat.

The trust is destroyed forever, and even years later, it is an issue.

FWIW it sounds fairly odd to me, and I would do some quiet digging, but if you don't trust him (an clearly you have good reason) then the relationship is over really.

My work frequently required whole weekends or several wwek days like this and it doesn't therefore seem unusual to me Why is staying on to brunch the trigger for you ?

I think it sounds quite plausible to be honest.

Sounds fishy but then I’m a “don’t go to anything on a non-work day” person so can’t comprehend a Saturday work brunch.

”It’s not summer” is hardly a red flag when it’s late May and the weather has been scorching up and down the country, on and off, for a couple of weeks. It’s not January, is it?

Yes I have .... Many many times
