Hang with people I barely know on a personal level after work? Why would I do that? I've got another full-time job waiting for me: Life/parent. I barely have time for my own family, let alone a work 'family'.

... In a (generally) mildly toxic environment where I feel judged and under appreciated?
Count me out.
Workplaces used to be a lot more casual.
It can be beneficial to keep a good relationship with your coworkers. I've had more than a few opportunities come my way because I have a network of friends that I made at work.

The only people staying after work for any reason, be it social or overtime, are the parents avoiding their kids. They make everyone else look bad, but it's them who should be shamed.

I used to socialize after work and neither me nor the majority had children.

Are they gonna pay me for the time I spend at these "social events? No? Eat a bag o' dicks then.
I stay as long as possible because I don't want to go home to my abusive wife.
Sometimes I can't sleep on Sundays because I'm so excited to go to work the next day.
