Oooo what to wear, what to wear?

Tell us what to wear or not to wear to the standard office parties, and any decidedly embarrassing stories you may have.......

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.
