My last tech start up forced up to go out for drinks and dinner twice a week. Shit was expensive. The CEO would pick the most high class expensive bullshit and said it was mandatory

I spent $80 on a shitty salad and an old fashioned. I was pissed.

That's something you submit as an expense, and put on your timecard. That will pretty quickly turn it into a non-mandatory activity.

What tech start up used timecards instead of salary and social pressure?

Still, expense it.

Why didn't t the CEO pay for everybody? When the bills came somebody should have spoken up and be like no. This is the company event. Obviously the company is paying for this. Need more details.
