I’ve been in the professional workforce since 2003 and haven’t been to one of these. A company I worked for in 2004 had one but since I was new, I had to pull the oncall shift so couldn’t attend. Pretty sure they were going out of style by 2001. If any company I worked for hosted one now I would just think it’s odd and say I was out of town anyways. I like my direct coworkers but can’t imagine a scenario where I would want to attend a party with the managers and execs.
