Had ours in the office...on a Tuesday night.
Was a casino themed party with roulette, blackjack etc.
Surprisingly good, but not so sure about having it on a Tuesday night.0 -

No but they have some dickhead spiceheads that I seriously can’t wait to serve up some figgy pudding to.1 -
Can you tell us who you work for, please? I want to cross them off my prospective employer list.Huskaris said:I work for a company led my a completely spineless and inept senior management team. We are financially fucked and in serious, serious trouble...
So of course, with an office of 25 we had to spend £10k on a very expensive place last week in Soho.
The CEO (female) got so shitfaced she became a statue (as in, standing and inanimate for some reason) at about 11pm. I helped get her in the cab. Girl I work with is an Essex girl who is my partner in crime, cue us singing "*insert name of CEO here* is fucking shitfaced na na naaaa na" on the dancefloor after I'd helped her into a cab. Not my finest moment but not completely unfair.
Head of marketing (who is an absolute piece of shit who has her tongue up the CEOs arse but would shove her under the bus without blinking if it furthered her career) then decided to take serious offence to this, and told my boss her team is exceptionally disrespectful and a disgrace.
The head of HR (another arselicker) informed me that the CEO was not "shitfaced" but was "tired". Everyone else was shitfaced, but she was tired.
Fast forward to yesterday and I am informed by my boss (terrified of everything and wants to cover her arse at any opportunity) that she needs to bring it up with me and my partner in crime so she can say that she's mentioned it and that if anyone asks she can say we are very sorry etc...
Seriously, fuck Christmas parties. Especially when the ENTIRE senior management team of 8 is a bunch of catty spineless women who laugh and smile to each others face and then spend entire hours slagging each other off.

I avoid them these days, I spend 8hrs a day with the fucksticks in the office - nothing will convince me to spend my free time with them especially as the company I work for contributes nothing. They are all out tonight so I have volunteered to work!3

Sounds like theft to me. Had similar, had to contribute (half? ) to works do and found leftover booze was recycled to customers by management. Next year we went back to mine so pocketed a bottle of whisky. Got hauled in next day and accused of theft. Challenged them to call in police to assess who was stealing from who. They uhmed and ahhed so I resigned.Alwaysneil said:My immediate boss is quite tight, we went to Brasserie Blanc for a lunch from 2pm and all paid a deposit. Turns out he’s pocketed the deposit and expenses the whole bill.
Big work do was black tie affair at the Honourable Artillery Compny building. Had fake casino and free booze, canapés and band. Was pretty good.1 -
