This might be a reference to the Japanese concept called Nomikai, an incredibly common practice where workers go out drinking with their boss. For some workplaces, this can be a worker's only shot to impress their boss or get their attention.

You're exactly right about my intentions for this post. I'm trying to make memes that are less centered the U.S.

Very similar concept in Korea. I got a job offer there after a three month project I did as a PhD student, and at some point realised it was mostly because I was a good after-work drinker. Which of course was easy, as the only people I knew there were from work, and I knew it was for a limited time. Keeping that up long term? No chance.

I drink because of the damn job. I don’t want to drink with the boss.

We don't have that culture here, thank God. I want nothing to do with my boss after the working day is over.

Sometimes having lunch with him but it's so annoying to see how he is sucking up to other people in the company.....

Oh man, the drinking culture at my office before remote work was out of control. Not that I minded it much as a total boozehound. It is rather telling though that it started to fade once the bar across the street closed and I went sober.

There are some really delicious non-alcoholic ginger beers.

I love our office happy hours. But I also like my company and my team.
