To each his own, but all-company meetups are the most god-awful type of event there is. The feigned enthusiasm about company stuff, self-promotions, office politics, elevator pitches, people patting their own backs, etc etc etc. All in all, a colosal waste of time and resources.

Right, I typically hate them. But in the context of a fully remote job it is the only opportunity I have to spend time with my colleagues in the flesh. It is also the only opportunity I have to spend time with them _outside of my home_.
