I think this made more sense in the past when people were holding onto a job for 15 years or maybe jobs in which you won't be able to find an alternative.

Nowadays, jobs in tech rarely last more than 4 years and the worst that can happen is that you get a salary increase and change job.

I wouldn't skip on work socialisation just out of fear.

It's a nice perk to have.

lol "worst that can happen from socializing with coworkers is you'll have to get a different job"

right. the worst that can happen if I take a nice fat dump into my dinner plate is I'll have to get a new dinner plate.

it's not fear. it's being at work to do work and get paid being the number one reason to even bother working. and if you're not there to work, why not be at a rock concert instead. with some friends.
