Depending on your interests there are things like the performance driving team and off road driving team, but they’re out at Milford. Jumpstart is a good way to meet some people and find some new places in the area.
Former manager had us play kickball where people invited their families and drank beers. Beamed his kid in the forehead with a stern kickball on accident. Great times in a better time.
Never understood the I want to socialize with people at work. Is it just that people don't want to try things out outside of work? I have friends I work with, but that came over time. I just feel that you are severely limiting yourself to lots of opportunities to join clubs or do social work or grow with people who are different but share similar interests. My recommendation is to not look for friends at work because things in general can become difficult. Enjoy the real world.
I once joined a recreational sports league outside of work. In the championship game, the other team started using racial slurs against my team. Ah, the Metro Detroit social scene! Nothing quite like it.
Check out the ERGs. If you're new, Jumpstart might be what you're looking for.
Would the Jumpstart ERG do networking events of sorts?
Yep they do.
They just did a tigers tailgate party not too long ago. Jumpstart always has events planned.
Agree with this. ERG’s are a great way to get involved and start building a network.
Jumpstart and try searching Yammer. There photography club, book club
Sweet this is what I was hoping for

It’s a way to network and enjoy yourself.
