Three in four people say they hang out with their co-workers “once a month,” “once a quarter,” or “never,” according to data by Comparably.
Of the more than 10,000 technology workers polled by Comparably, just 17% say they socialize with their co-workers outside of work “once a week” and 9% say they do so “multiple times a week.”
Age matters
Workers aged 18 to 25, perhaps unsurprisingly, were most likely to spend time hanging out with their co-workers outside of work. About 23% said they do so once a week, and another 18% said they do so multiple times a week.
Time spent with coworkers declined from there, hitting its lowest point among workers aged 56 to 60, of whom 10% say socialize with their coworkers once a week and 3% say socialize with their coworkers multiple times a week.
