[GoldWithFalmer]

They are rather tedious.

Sadly this year we are doing a whole company one which means having to socialise with sales centre workers.

[Everest]

I shall be working as usual. How else are you drunken Alan B'stards going to get home?

 

[Notters]

I find them a waste of an evening that I could have spent drinking with my friends

This. And you tend to find all your mates have theirs on different days so you end up not being able to see your mates for a month!

 

[MissGull]

Anyone have to suffer their other half's do as well?

 

[lawros left foot]

We won't be having one this year due to one member of staff doing so much to ruin last year's that it has been decided it's better not to bother rather than risk a repeat.

You've got to tell us what they did now!

I'm billy no work mates, I am self employed and work alone so I don't have to worry about Christmas parties.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Avoid like the plague.

I won't go to the Xmas dinner either.

Yep,they're crap. Humbug.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Ok it's that time of the year again....the posters are up!

What are you doing for yours? Do you avoid it at all costs? Any shameful stories?

They always used to be so much fun, but now i'm older and hold down a more responsible job, they tend to be painful.

Always been awful,not had a works xmas party for over 20 years,got escorted out of the amex xmas bash at the Brighton centre that was the Joe Loss xmas party

 

[melias shoes]

I went on one a few years back and got refused a lift home by 5 taxis.

 

[Steve Foster]

There's some right negativity here!

I am the boss & am taking all our employees to Food in Worthing, all paid for by me. No three line whip to go, but everyone is. And I don't even celebrate Christmas!

 

[Randsta]

Eating and drinking too much as per usual!

 

[crodonilson]

Ours is on 22nd November, we got a 15% discount for booking it for earlier. We've got a 3 course meal, bottle of house wine for the table and a Tina Turner tribute act followed by a seasonal disco all for £39.95.

Yes and missing home v Millwall as a result !!

Work parties probably use to be good in the 80's 90's, however everyone is far more conscious about how they will be perceived the next day at work and end up being far to reserved. Plus I think many companies have scaled back completely the budget for such events.

My first ever xmas party was at the Hilton Brighton. I was 19 and my gf was17. At the end of the night 3 other girls in the company ended up beating up my gf for no reason (which after 2 years with her found out she probably rubbed them up the wrong way and deserved it) but other than that experience the others have been dull as dish water.
