xmas work parties

somefeen

if I worked in the office I'd probably refuse to go, ask the lads in the yard what the crack is and join in with their party.

Parties thrown to spite people are always un-****ing-believable.

That a nearly 3 week shut down would you not be entitled to clam unemployment benefit if the place is shut that long, they sound like a very mean and rather old-fashioned in this day and age, unless ye made eejits of yourselves one year on a Christmas night out.

My husband once worked in a situation where all the engineers were taken our for a fancy meal and drinks and the rest were given money and told to buy themselves a few drinks.

Xmas work parties = forced together with a lot of people you frankly hate and thinking that some alcohol will grease the joints and people will get on. Went to 2 before, never again. Thats what your real mates are for!

Is there any chance that is a kind of voluntary social gathering for the office folks and its out of their own pocket?
