What are some social events your company does?

Where do I even begin? Being a remote company, Going understands the importance and necessity of socializing with your peers. Twice a year, we hold bi-annual retreats in wonderful destinations (my favorite being Zion NP), monthly town halls to celebrate wins, zoom happy hours, and donut chats to get to know each other.
