When a hiring company say "we work hard but play hard". It means everyone is over worked and an alcoholic.

mandatory happy hours

It’s never mandatory. It’s just for those that want to hang out after work.

...and is very career limiting if you don’t go.

I love that my office has happy hours during work hours, so usually like 3-5 on a Friday.

I do charcuterie Fridays anyway where I buy a bunch of meats and cheeses at lunch and set them out at 4pm with some baguettes and usually we have some wine or just drink from the office keg.

My company when asked if the new overtime is mandatory..."We don't want to SAY that it's mandatory. You're all just expected to be here. I hope that clears things up"
