DOT PROM

A company party usually at a start up that celebrates nothing in particular. It is neither tied to a holiday nor to a milestone of the company. Dot proms are either held in the office after-hours complete with cheap decorations (like the gymnasium for a public school prom) or a ballroom is rented out and there is a more elaborate theme (like a private school prom). Example: We had stayed late every night at the office this week so we didn't want to stay late again for another lame dot prom.
