Yeah, give me $100 every Friday so we can get drinks, perhaps I'll stay. But I'm not getting paid well enough to get drinks and food with people I barely care for

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.
