About this Event
Your cat is a terrible coworker. 🐈
(Or maybe your actual coworkers just don't get it).
They sleep on the job, they don’t respond to Slack, and their feedback on your latest project was terrible. If you are a freelancer, a remote employee, or running a "Department of One," you know the struggle: You are the Employee of the Month, but you are also the IT department, the janitor, and the only person at the office Christmas party.
It’s time to find a new team.
Welcome to New Hire Orientation.
The Employee of the Month Club is holding its inaugural staff meeting at Third Space. We are building a community for Buffalo’s "Independent Workforce"—the creatives, admins, tech workers, and founders who need a space to connect outside the 9-to-5 grind.
This is not a stiff "networking event." There will be no keynote speakers, no slide decks, and absolutely no awkward elevator pitches. This is a mandatory staff meeting* to complain about clients, discuss the perils of tax season, and remember what 3D humans look like.
Who is this for?
We are casting a wide net. If you feel like a "Department of One," you are hired.
- ✅ Remote Workers & Digital Nomads (Get out of the house).
- ✅ Freelancers & Contractors (Find people who understand the hustle).
- ✅ Side-Hustlers & Founders (Meet your new support group).
- ✅ In-Person Creatives (If you work in a traditional office but you’re the only creative/weirdo in the building, you belong here too).
The "Agenda"
- 4:30 PM - Clock In: Log off your actual job, shut the laptop, and grab a drink/coffee at Third Space.
- 5:00 PM - Onboarding: Mingle with other "New Hires." No pressure, just vibes.
- 6:00 PM - Clock Out: The event wraps up so you can get home for dinner (or keep the party going if you want).
Code of Conduct
- 🚫 No Sales Pitches: We are here to make friends, not close deals.
- 🚫 No Zoom Links: Put the laptop away.
- 👖 Hard Pants Optional: Jeans are acceptable. Sweatpants are respected.
RSVP is free but required
