Which sentence is correct?
1. Join us, and go beyond a typical workday.
2. Join us and go beyond a typical workday.
It’s a trick question; both are valid, since they each convey a different sense.
Addendum (11/15/2022): Here’s a helpful explanation from Merriam-Webster’s Guide to Punctuation and Style:
“Commas are not normally used to separate the parts of a compound predicate. However, they are often used if the predicate is long and complicated, if one part is being stressed, or the absence of a comma could cause a momentary misreading.”
In other words: Commas can be subjective.
