| Oct 10, 2019 at 17:17 | comment | added | dwizum | @Chopman - you may want to edit that comment into the question. It seems like many of the answers are assuming you're one of the employees, and you're trying to decide if you should go or not. But this comment makes it sound like you're one of the owners, and you're wondering if the employees will not like this (or take it as a negative sign). Editing the text of your question to make your position and your actual question a little more clear will probably lead to better answers. | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 11:37 | comment | added | sleske | Hi, and welcome to workplace.SE! Right now, the question is unclear to me: Why do you think having the party at home would be a problem? You don't actually say, and we can't read your mind. Please edit to clarify. | |

| Oct 9, 2019 at 15:08 | comment | added | Chopman | We're a nordic company, so sauna is common (maybe unrelated to question). I was in a hurry writing this post on my phone, so I can clarify some things, I could spend an evening at my employers house, but I'm more concerned if some employees would feel anxious or think that we're taking some cheaper way to host this event (or something else). I would just like to hear opinions so I could judge if this is +ev from our company's perspective. And also to clarify, I am one of the owners. | |
| Oct 9, 2019 at 14:38 | comment | added | Green Baloon | @Charmander you are right. I'm really an introvert person and i hate to say no to people. I need to work on that. | |
| Oct 9, 2019 at 14:33 | comment | added | Charmander | @GreenBaloon, what's the benefit of doing that? I don't think lying is necessary in this case. | |
| Oct 9, 2019 at 14:32 | comment | added | Green Baloon | I would go, then I would try to make a friend call me saying it's an emergency or something. Like, stay there some 2hrs and then " sorry I need to go ". It's a one time event in the year. | |
| Oct 9, 2019 at 14:32 | comment | added | Charmander | There are advantages and disadvantages to this approach, yes. I'm not fully sure I understand what's your objective. Could you please clarify that? Is your goal to have the owners reconsider other options or just finding out what are the pros and cons of the situation? | |

| Oct 9, 2019 at 14:17 | comment | added | F1Krazy | You say you "usually rent a place with a sauna" - do you usually use the sauna at that place? I find it odd that you would feel uncomfortable being in your employers' home but you (seemingly) have no objection to sitting naked in a room with them. Maybe it's a cultural thing, in which case mentioning the culture would be helpful. | |

| Oct 9, 2019 at 14:13 | comment | added | James Gould | 8 employees is quite a small company, and I imagine everyone is fairly tight knit in the work space. I personally wouldn't feel any different than going out to an event room and eating, but this is all personal preference. Unless you're in a position to negotiate going to a restaurant etc, this isn't really a workplace issue. | |
