WRKDefined Workplace Misconduct: A Mandatory Meeting Podcast Episode 14

In this episode of Workplace Misconduct: A Mandatory Meeting, live from the Fama booth at HR Tech, Ryan Leary and William Tincup  are joined by Jenny Olson of MPR and Dave Wentworth of Schoox for a no-holds-barred conversation on the legal risks, cultural fallout, and flat-out recklessness that come from mixing alcohol with the workplace.

Key Takeaways

  • A planner got so drunk at her own event she cracked her head—and the CEO had to drive her to the ER.
  • In-office happy hours have led to DUIs, toxic behavior, and long-term culture issues.
  • Alcohol as a bonding tool often creates liability and risk—not connection.
  • Corporate Drinker calls out the hidden damage of workplace drinking culture.
  • Free booze is still a go-to perk, but it’s often more harmful than helpful.
  • Safer alternatives like food trucks, games, and family events foster real inclusivity.
  • Banning alcohol is the easiest way to avoid a PR disaster.
  • Engagement isn’t about open bars—it’s about thoughtful, safe experiences.
