Whuddya mean? DetailsWe just did. I 100% expect a call from HR on Monday. Not joking. Not about me. Super dangerous to be doing these when people aren't restricted with "I gotta drive home".
We had one at a local bar last year. No idea about this year with the restrictions.

thanks for the invite jackass. i would have gone up there and been the +1 for the free booze
There are groups of co-workers that hold their own and invite people of their choosing. Those are usually pretty fun.
The ones my company does are kinda lame because even the bigwigs come and they seem to frown upon people getting sloppy drunk on the company dime.

Virtual "party?"

I work at the Galleria mall. We went to Del Frisco's last year and it was over by 3. I sat at my desk drunk as fuck for 2 hours.....
The regular parties that only involve my team are really fun. We just call them "team building activities" that the company pays for. One year we all went to a Brewers game and tailgated for about 3 hours before the start. Another time we all went gocarting and played laser tag. That shit was a blast.

Details, held via Teams:
We did a white elephant via some website tied to amazon. Pretty slick, worked well. Funny.
then we did some trivia games, and everyone was blitzed at that point. The trivia were "fill in the blank" types. Shit got sideways in a hurry.

The lack of a team building marketing budget really sucked this year, but so be it and I understand. Luckily we are all heavily compensated so spending a few bucks isn't an issue.
If you are alone. that isn't a party...that is something else....

No party this year, everybody working remotely.
But the boss gave me a $250 gift card for our liquor stores...

Your boss sounds like a stand up dude. I'd like to have a beer with him. or her. whatever.
That's what our Chick-Fil-A owner did my last year of undergrad. He'd rent out the local Bar//Laser Tag/Arcade/Bowling Alley place for a few hours or host picnics on Sundays.
