Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The day after a work Christmas party. So, your employer gives free champagne, wine, beer and cocktails for six hours, knowing that most people will go on to another venue, and then expects everyone to be in work the next day! They should just cut their losses and give everyone the day off because even though people have turned up, it's a **** shambles. Nobody even bothers to pretend they're doing anything apart from the try-hard clearings in the woods who either didn't go to a thoroughly enjoyable, fun, and once per year event; or they went or a couple but were home by 9PM. They should be left to hold the fort, whilst the rest of us stay at home to be hungover in peace. I'll be in the 'home by 9pm' group. Mine is later this week, and we're going out for a meal at 5:30, and then out on the town. So straight after work with no chance to go home and get changed. Pretty shit arrangement so I'll go for the food, a quick pint and hopefully be home by 7:30. What if it was a completely free event for 500 people and you were given at least an hour and a half to get changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 **** Christmas partys, only second to new years partys in being the worst time to have a beer because everywhere is full of words removed who only go out at Xmas and new year. I'll spend my xmas/bday/newyear period getting pissed at home on my own and ill enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I echo the above, only, at least where I am, everywhere is full of words removed all year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 TBH I don't ever drink at my work do around people I work with so no biggie to miss it Well, the work do isn't really for you big boss types. It's for the minions to get bladdered at their employer's/employers'/bosses' expense - so let's hope you've not forgotten to front up at the bar with your 'big US client & must hang around the office for a couple of hours' excuse. Huge not big FFS !! Tbh our works do is just a meal and drinks so not that exciting and no scandals ever break out ... We did the theme night parties a few times and a lot of the staff didn't enjoy it very much so now it's just dinner and a few dozen bottles of wine You'll be pleased to know my card footed the bill and I clocked up a few more Airmiles towards my next free flight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted December 11, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2013 Our office Xmas parties used to be really good, but have got steadily worse over the years as the good people left and got replaced with clearings in the woods. As I'm on part-time retirement wind-down I won't be around for them this year - but I probably wouldn't have gone anyway. I'm down to working out the very short list of good folks I want to go boozing with when I finally escape in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I hate working with most of my colleagues so the thought of going out in my own time to 'enjoy' myself with them just makes me want to end it all. I'll spend works night out with my friends or family and have a good time instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite happy to show my face for a short while, but as soon as there's an exit opportunity, i'm gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It is grim if you don't like your colleagues, and I can see why people would want to avoid any form of work-related social event. Fortunately, the average age in my place is around 30, and most people are easy to get on with. Plus there's a number of absolute stunners knocking around, so seeing them super-dolled up at our Christmas Ball was a sight to behold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
