    I can definitely attest that there are some really awful office cultures where a young and naive computer toucher would feel compelled to go to a strip club to be seen as a team player. It’s gross and I’m not sure how common it is these days, but it’s a thing

      Have been a young naive computer toucher and can second this. It is a thing. Often the company owners just want to drag you along and feel like ballers for the night. Its fucking painful and I’m so happy I’m remote and established enough I don’t have to play along anymore.

      I felt a bit awkward waiting for my food next to my boss’s boss at a greek place we happened to order at independently. I couldn’t imagine going to a strip club with any of them. (Tech monkey btw)
