Company Christmas Party

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Sort by date Sort by votes
When our company was small our Christmas party was at Burr Oak late on a Saturday evening. All the employees could bring their spouses, and we had the option of renting a room at a group rate and staying the night. That ended a few years ago after all the 30-something employees found the cash bar, were cussing like sailors and playing cards until we were kicked out of the banquet hall, drank the bar dry until they closed, then went back to the rooms and drank some more.

After that, we now have a private, catered employee lunch off site on a workday, and then everybody comes back to the office and we meet in the conference room and have a prize drawing. Our company president and his wife buy several gifts with $100 price tags, and they set them all out on the tables in the conference room and draw our names out of a hat.

I've been lucky to get drawn early every single year and had a choice at decent gifts. Over the past four years I've walked away with a Haier mini-fridge, a cordless Craftsman circular saw and drill, a Craftsman 155-piece Mechanics tool set, and this year I got a Craftsman Miter Saw.

:banger:

I had my first Christmas party with my new company just last weekend. Very nice, it was held at the "Mason Manor" open bar all night and outstanding food. The door prizes were great as well, all over the $200 mark. Plus, they had limos incase we "overindulged" :biggrin:

Reasons why my company's Christmas party sucked last year

1. I worked with a bunch of liberals who called it a "Holiday Party."
2. It was a pot luck...no clue what some of the homemade stuff was.
3. The gift exchange was white elephant, which is cool, but no one was remotely funny in picking out gifts.
4. It was in the conference room.
5. It was during an extended lunch hour.
6. It was on a Monday.
7. No booze.
8. I had to go back to answering phones the rest of the day
9. No booze.
10. The director of the company was a closet homo, thus reasons 1-9.

Apparently the old director loved to party. Rumor has it that he had bottles of scotch in his desk. He also had the Christmas party not only during the last half of the day at the office, but continued it at one of the restaurants down the street...never met the guy, he retired about 5 years before I started working. The partying stopped the day the new guy was hired and all alcohol was banned from the building.

We had our office party last night. Open bar and some munchies at a local fancy smancy place. It was nice. Our complex (multiple offices) party is this Saturday at one of the local country clubs. Since this is my first one with this company I asked my boss the dress code. Yeah, it is the same as what I wear all week, suit and tie.

One of the older guys explained to me you drink half of what you normally would and we sneak out to a bar after a couple of hours (don't tell the boss).

boss rejected my scheduled exam :( i was told that i can't get out of going to the super gay super stuffy uppity uppity Holiday Luncheon - yes, its called a Holiday luncheon because we might have Jewish employees - which I'm pretty sure we don't. FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUCK.

its at the local country club as well - probably the same one that BBH is going to. Dress is suit and ties, which is not our norm (usually just slacks and a polo), no booze. we had to pick what we would like to be served - our choices were

4oz fillet
salmon
strawberry fields spring salad

yippie fucking do. why even bother

We dont have an actual party. We just get food ordered in for lunch. We did get a christmas gift this year. I work for a small trading firm and the owner gave all of us 80GB video iPods with $100 in itunes gift cards. I was pretty pumped about that, especially since my current iPod is a little beat up.

What the fuck is wrong with calling it a holiday party? Some of you need to get a grip. It's not like "liberals" are trying to take your Christmas away -- only trying to include everyone who might not be Christian.

Believe me, "homos" know how to party. My boss at OSU was gay, and at our holiday party the wine and expensive liquor was flowing all night! It was something right out of Queer Eye. :p I miss those parties!

Going to my wife's tonight. A potluck at the Riffe Center. I'm hoping that the hot acctress chicks get drunk and naked, but I doubt it will happen. :sad2:

In an unfortunate turn of circumstances, Mrs. Katt caught a cold and we were unable to attend, allowing us to stay home to play Zelda: Twilight Princess. :banger:

(Turns out there wouldn't have been any drunk naked chicks anyways.)

Me too. We have a "winter gathering." And we have to pay $20 to go.

My wife has her Christmas party tomorrow night, and we have to pay $15 per head........not including alcohol. It's at the Winking Lizard though, so it should be a good time. FWIW, she's a teacher........so naturally they can't throw some huge bash for free.
