Office party?
good god no. It is bad enough I see this bunch of losers at work. but definitely not on my own time.
Work did organise a christmas dinner, 170 miles from my office. And then asked me why I did not attend.
Most arent on your own time i didnt think? Ours is the whole of this afternoon...sure beats being in the office all day on a friday!!

Ours is this evening and its £35 a head with drinks on top the selling side they used- you can bring your other half (so that's £70 for a friday night out!)...... Some people are shocked that I don't want to go.
Two free tickets going and somebody who has paid has been taken into ill and awaiting an opportation, as I'm leaving she offered me the tickets for me and Drew to go for free...... I've still said no!
No party to go to this year. At Liverpool they are all worried about whether they'll have a job in the new year, so nobody is feeling celebratory.

Good plan!
At £35 a head I wouldn't
The last party I worked (Friday gone) was paid mostly by the company. I wouldn't go to a works party if it I had to pay.
jeez wheres your christmas spirt. I think office parties help teams work better together, makes you realise that your boss/ bosses boss are in fact human
My lot arent that bad, most are about my age and are quite good fun

this
ours is tonight. im not going, i dont particularly like many of the people that work here im sure the feeling is mutual. this year it was decided we'd go to a hotel where an overnight stay is £59, the meal itself is £35, so add drinks to that and im not going to get any change out of £130 i wouldnt have thought. the week before christmas. good one
rai, wear something see through
we aren't having one this year not that i would go
Wow. Having to pay for your own tickets?! That's a bit harsh.
Been invited to a works meal at a really nice pub out in the sticks on the 23rd all paid for (excluding drinks) and I still turned down the offer. Genuinely not interested in spending time with the people outside of work.

ours is next thursday evening, meal paid drinks paid by company - which with no xmas bonus isnt a bloody shock. Had they asked us to pay then I'd not be attending.
Same as TW - I've got to pleasent enough to them all week, a few drinks and the right buttons pressed I often worry I wont remain so pleasant so try to aviod these works socials as much as I can.

Paying for it? Surely the idea of a Christmas party is the bosses pay for it to thank you for all the hard work during the year.
Place I used to work hosted a lot of them, generally they were great but some had some epic bitching and whining fests.

We used to have them but not anymore. But we did get a bonus which was a nice surprise.
Our bosses never turned up to the Christmas party - apart from one who is married and then he booked himself into a hotel on company expenses so he could shag one of the barmaids. As I was the party organiser and had to remain sober and drive myself home at my own expense as they refused me a hotel or petrol money (I live 70 miles from work) I was not too impressed with his behaviour!
There are only three 'organised' parties being held by the company I work for. Unfortunately the nearest is over 80 miles away. I could get the train to the closest one to me but have looked at the train timetables. If I left the party with enough time to get home by 4am. I would actually have to leave the party about 5 minutes after it started. On top of that, if I wanted my partner to attend that would cost me £35. So considering the rail travel for two, the only option of accommodation over night, I have also not bothered.
Anyone who cannot make the official party due to distance can organise a 'function' at a restaurant local where you work. However, the 'red-tape' you have to go through is just not worth the hassle for doing so. Contacting the restaurant, confirming they will take payment from my company, exchanging all details, blah blah... The company will pay up to £25 per person direct to the restaurant of your choice. They will not gift you the £25 and they will not allow you to book anything close to home. I live 75 miles away from where I work. So even if I went through the hassle of booking somewhere, I wouldn't be in any better position as I wouldn't be able to drink anything alcoholic as I would have to drive home. That or again, book accommodation somewhere.
Needless to say no one in the office has taken up the offer. Another pathetic attempt of the company pretending to show good will. Rather they have made it so difficult and awkward to arrange, they knew most wouldn't bother, saving them the expense.

What a bunch od "Bah! Humbugs !!!"
Maybe its just because for the 1st time in years, I am getting my Xmas do paid for.
Funny how a small company can afford it, yet big companies cant/wont.
So I'm in more of a "Ha! Bumhug" kind of mood :p

I'm in the bah humbug brigade I'm afraid. Not only is the office party out of hours and paid for for individually, but when senior management do turn up they get ratted and start food fights - not impressed :-(

well im off to mrs giggles work doo tonight, why i hear you ask, simple just to remind certain work colleauges that she has a big scary husband that would be less than amused if someone shouted at her. 1 tried once lets just say he's been very nice since
... just to remind certain work colleauges that she has a big scary husband ....
Has she been previously married then?
Just going to weatherspoons in Baker Street for us lot today, nice early finish and £20 each to play with for free drinks, worth going for a few free drinks before going out tonight with pals i say!

Having to pay, well that takes the p*ss but when being offered to go for free and refusing that's just plain bonkers, where's your Northern skinflint spirit? :-P
I've got a work meal next week, boss only has 2 staff so she's paying and does the same every year.

Work mostly from home and on customers' sites abroad, so no party for me this year... However in a previous life our company party did make the papers....
The company was good at parties, it was a small software development company with about 30 employees (20 of them female!!) and quite a bit of spare cash. Our major customers were brewers and so we were also allowed to raid their staff shops for party supplies. The company also had an interesting drug policy, roughly along the lines of:
MD - Have you got any dope?
Employee - No
MD - There's a load in my desk if you need any.
They'd paid for us to go to an organised party up in London and laid on a coach to transport us there and back. Nothing too exciting about that bit, although the coach driver was a bit miffed by us stealing a rather large balloon arch from the venue and bringing it on board. There was also the usual competition as to who could nick the biggest item from the tables, so there were a few waterjugs, winecoolers, candleholders etc around too.
Anyway - once we got back to the office, the party continued there. Plenty of alcohol, plenty of other pharmaceuticals too. Sometime around 2am we found the left-over fireworks.... they weren't small ones either.
Out into the garden, whoosh! BANG!! etc
What we didn't know was that there had been a shooting just down the road earlier in the evening. Half the local residents called the police to report gunfire.
Suddenly there's police everywhere.... dodgy ciggies and strange powders are being hidden in blind panic. MD explains to the police that it's our christmas party and some of the lads got a bit carried away etc, he'll make sure they don't cause any more disturance etc.....
Police accept this a go away.
It was the MD that lit the chuffing fuses!
Party eventually wound down and life returned to normal. Newspaper accounts of the party were pinned to the notice board for ages afterwards...
Why are companies so boring now....?

my girlfriends house mate is a graphic designer. She earns bugger all and works some long hours, but this year to say thanks they took them all to a swanky country house, fed them, and gave them all an iPad! Not bad. We had to pay for our christmas lunch, but being a Uni was don't have money to splash out on stuff like meals.

Our boss has been told he has the princely sum of £15/head for a Christmas lunch. Not enough for a main course in the restaurants near our office.
As you might expect we're not exactly impressed.

. I think office parties help teams work better
agree,
We had our last night we're pretty much all in our 20s so got a bit messy
Boss said he'd pay for a round of drinks with the meal think we spent around £400 on drinks - so glad it didn't go on my credit card!

We traditionally have ours on the 23rd.
Mini-bus from work into town (about 5pm)
Drinks in the pub paid for by the boss then move on.
Meal and drinks at the table by the boss (so we try to stay at the table as long as possible)
Then depending where we are, move to the bar or another venue. (try to persuade one of the drunken bosses to hand over the tab number - often works too)
Then either it's been known for everyone, girls included, to end up at a 'gentlemans club' - Boss even paid the entry, but don't think that will happen this year; or
Home in a taxi and hand the receipt into work when your in.
We usually have to go in on the 24th and get bacon butties paid for by the boss. (roll in about 10, maybe leave by 12 - but if you want to book the day off you have to use a whole days holiday!)
This year luckily they've let us off the last day.

Missed mine this year :-({|= as I was in the Slovakia office at the time. Their do was the week after so missed that one as well. Both paid for but quiet and well behaved aparently so didn't miss much.
The all expenses paid parties we used to have at Lotus software were epic. And the New Year black tie ball (again all paid for) where we could take our other halves were a great night out. Oh the hangover memories from that bygone era...
Had ours last night in a wee restaurant in Balloch.
Paid for it ourselves [NHS employee], and was unfortunately very sedate and sober! [only had two glasses of wine!!!]:smt103
Had mine last night at a hilton hotel.
Ended up being started on for no reason (I was sitting down having a fag outside). No chance to defend, just punch after punch from out of nowhere. Its said I went to the ground and he started kicking me. I got myself up off the floor then took a heavy blow to the head and BOOOOM out I went :(
Bloke run off, I got carted to hospital (don't remember anything). Discharged myself, missis came to pick me up and went home.
Woke up thinking "that was a weird dream" then felt the pain. Turns out the idiot had said i'd be giving him jip all night (hadn't spoken a word, not even my company???) and just came out and belted me, several times. He run off, but came back not knowing they had called the police. Luckily they got him and he has been in the cell all night and being charged with GBH. Had the police round all morning doing an interview. Seems they have witnesses who state I didn't do anything and this bloke just came over and threw punch after punch out of the blue :(
I hurt :( Just been back to A+E.
Nice eh.....

Daimo - that sucks, hope you feel better soon.
As for christmas parties, I used to really enjoy ours, it was one for the whole company, so instead of just socialising with my work mates, you got to talk to everybody from different departments, drink and food would flow everybody attended and the company laid on transport.
I dont know what changed about it, I think it was one year where the organised it miles and miles away from where everybody lived and it was a complete pain to get to, so nobody went.
Now we get given £25 a head and organise our own, we went for a curry this year and I was reminded again that I have very few friends at work, I didnt enjoy it at all, I ate my food had a couple of drinks and then went home. Boss turned up and put money behind the bar for a drink or two for everybody and with all the sh*te thats been going on I thought that was really decent of him to do that.
With all the redundancies, politics and bickering its completely destroyed morale and any sense of team spirit we had, and it'll take alot more than and christmas party to bring that back.
They are great if you are in a good team with a good bunch of people, but sadly thats no longer the case with me.
BH Daimo, that's just mental:O Hope you'e OK.
John, Daryl and me went out for a curry. Had to drive home so no high jinx:(
Best works party I ever had was when I was self employed and working alone.
Dinner at KFC, then down the pub alone to get hammered
Update.
He was released on bail yesterday.
Basically, it seems his wife was totally paraletic and everyone was making digs as he dragged her through the corridoor. He says he came outside dragging her, and I shouted out "slut"... Now I don't really use that in verbal context, so thats a lie. If i'd have seen a mega legless being dragged women, i'd have said "damm shes off her pickle, or shes totally smashed". I wouldn't have called someone a slut for being drunk.
He then says he pushed me over as I was sitting down, i got up and looked like I was going to throw a punch (again, not me, i'd have got up and asked him what his problem and what the f**k he was doing, not thrown a punch). So he just hit me... Twice...
My face says otherwise, i'd say a awful lot more than 2 punches. There was a girl trying to stand between us and push him away but he carried on like she wasn't there. Shes my best witness and confirms I didn't do anything wrong.
Im in a lot more pain today, face looks massive, black eye coming through, lips are about 4x the size of normal.
I have to go back to the police station tomorrow for more pictures.
Happy xmas eh... tbh, EVEN if I called her a slut (i know I wouldn't), it doesn't warrant this. And as for him, hopefully his xmas party will entail him ditching his wife, and picking up a GBH charge. I was quite perky yesterday, today i'm very much the opposite.
Moan over, just not wanting really to go out and talk to anyone.
MisterTommyH
19-12-10, 01:35 PM
I would say that's probably what he was thinking, so made that up as what you said. Don't they have CCTV?
Anyway hope it don't hurt too much - at least you can use the excuse that your drinking for medicinal purposes over christmas.

Of course theres also the possibility that he looses his job as well. Two girls at our place went to fight in Asda one lunchtime, both lost their jobs for bringing the company into disripute ( sp )
No need to apologise for moaning sounds like you've had quite a battering.

19-12-10, 05:46 PM
Get well soon mate, booze works, seems that he was just looking for some one to blame cos his mrs got trollied, and he was probably peed off that he had to take her home and forgo the party.
Wow this has come on a bit. I am well sorry to hear about your night Daimo. Really sucks i cant believe that he came at you like that. Strange what drink does to people and the way it makes them behave. I hope you you feel better soon and it doesnt ruin your christmas
Well i came away from my office party with a few bruises (not in anyway compaired to Daimo tho) i think they are from rather enthusastic thumb wars! I am not a big drinker in anyway, so you can imagine that after 10 hours of drinking a was alittle on the snoozeled side. The food was rubbish but the company was good. Half the office are bikers so alot of the discussions were based around converting the other half of the office to the dark side
Dam good laugh (apart from the resisent office perv groping my ass all night and despite being told to back off by one of the senior managers, still following me into the loos - hmmmm not nice at all)
And thankfully, i didnt have toooooo much of a hangover on sat
ooo and P.S i decided to wear skinny black jeans and killer heels, with a nice non reveling top and a cardy... much better choice than one of the legal girls who was wearing what only can be decribed as a nighty that gave nooooo support at all. Which would be cool if she had the rack to go with it.. sadly (for the boys) it was one of those moments where you just dont know where to look
Daimo - that sucks - hope he gets more than just a charge. Sounds like a typical night in Glasgow though.
Ours was the 10th - but like Fizz after being told that everyone in department are losing jobs, grievances , bickering, and back stabbing half the people didn't bother even try to bury hachets for the night and just didn't turn up. We pay for it ourselves ( though we are invited to the xmas drinks and mince pies with the councillors - they do honestly think that we their staff will turn up to celebrate christmas with the sods that authorised the redundnacies in thr firstplace) and even that didn't help Half didn't talk to the others, another member of staff organise to meet some in a bar after the meal knowing that we were all going osmewhere else and putting people in unpleasent circumstances.
such a shame after last years where we went to local hotel circus themed party night and everyone enjoyed themselves -(i was dressed a circus master twas great night and fabby photos)
I'm normally the one dressed up as Mrs Claus for Secret Santa not even that this year.
Real let down and wished i hadn't bothered :(
Xerox dont have one. Legal & General's was on the 2nd December which we were invited to as its the contract i work on. Thiers was free.
GWS Daimo!
A mate of mine works for a printing company - All the bosses were sent a printed invite to a slap up do that must have cost £100, whereas the workers (that had to print out the invite so they knew all about it) were offered £3 a head contribution if they organised a meal out amongst themselves :roll:
I had a great works Xmas meal - small company so everything paid for, but it was in our own time which never crossed my mind was a problem. Been invited to another one which I may not go to as it is in work time so I would lose pay to go to it.
I don't attend the "official" works xmas do, the people that go aren't people I would choose to drink with any other time of the year, so I don't make an exception for xmas :)
My shift has an unofficial drinks night, that was supposed to be tomorrow night, it's being put on hold until early Jan as people have to travel and probably wouldn't get home afterwards with the bad weather!
How come nobody seems to get on with the people they work with these days?

They took a load of pics when I had my face redecorated, make sure you get copies etc for the criminal injury claim ;) I got £1500 for a broken nose and 2 black eyes... was almost worth it.
How come nobody seems to get on with the people they work with these days?
In our place its becuase one person has raised several petty grievances against a few of the others. and because he can't and won't take direction from a female boss. and the ripples run wide and have split the office.
but he's a prig who deserves everything he gets just a shame he's the one raising the grievance against the decent ones
How come nobody seems to get on with the people they work with these days?
I get on with mine :)
We all like a good drink, so that's enough common ground for a start!
Was a great night consisting of drinking, singing, drunken snowball fight, few cigars, strippers, casino, more drink.. :p
And there was even a meal thrown in the at some point :)

i know your not being cheeky but all this is becuase it wasn't dealt with years ago and he's been allowed to bully and now that one of the girls has worked her way up and above him its all blown up
We all got really well before this year - everyone went to parties and leaving nights etc etc etc

Our place was fine till one or two people joined who had a different attitude / ethos to the workplace. One is a bully / manipulative / controlling and the other one goes along with the first one, so they go around in a gang and everything has to be done their way or not at all.
I reallly cannot be bothered socialising with the pair of them which is why I dont go out on work nights out / team nights / christmas do's
I thought I'd give it a go this year, because our team / department looks like its going to be split up and its probably the last one we'll have. But I wish I hadnt bothered as it was sh*te, purely because all the team spirit has been destroyed by one or two people.

had ours last night, was survivable but boy th age difference showed.
Not so much with the drinking as Im a fully qualified light weight but the music selection! oh and the dancing oh god the dancing! In the bars where I felt comfortable the others all sat silent as lambs then we moved on to the meal and show (meal was quite good - bi-bi's leeds) following the meal was 60 of the most uncomfortable minutes of my life.
Senior staff dancing away to a motown band, (decent enough music some old and new) the worst of the dancing came when the CO started dipping like a pole dancer against his chair. I didnt know if to laugh cry or chuck up... so i got the feck outa there.
hehee some sore looking heads around the office this morning.
My work had a Christmas party for us management on the 4th December. They hired out an entire Devere venue down south somewhere for 200+ people which would have cost a fair bit.
Couldn't go unfortunately :(
We were too busy to have a Christmas do this year, so we're having one in January :0/ not quite the same thing really is it?

2 xmas parties, the 'Staff Party' (waited on by management) with food, unlimited free beer/wine anf a 'Management Party' which follows a conference wuich is also food with unlimited free beer/wine (you want spirits at either then you pay...lots....)
I however (unlike a lot od folk on this forum it seems) do get on with my work mates (or colleagues or co workers or whatever is the politically correct tag these days) ad will happily go out on the P155 with them anytime, especialy at xmas!.
Good thing is that its free, bad thing is that this year one or two decided to have a bit too much to drink, this may mean next year it will just be a management party and no staff doo, hundreds suffer for the actions of two!

So you were at both parties, I therefore assume your management...
You might think you get along with all your work mates but I'd wager they're happy an smiley when your around but when your not your one of the OTHER guys, not one of THE GUYS. its simple office politics, david brent syndrome I think they call it now.

Had our do last night in Birmingham. OMG my head hurts.
Free beer, Free food, very sore from falling over 4 times in the snow when I left. Of course it was completely due to the slippery pavements and nothing to do with me having had a skin full.

My boss booked a table at an Indian with 2 simple instructions. Eat what you want and drink what you like, the company is paying for it. He also sorted out some rooms at a Premier Inn for a few of us. In my job it's rare to meet the other workers so it was a good laugh.
