Office Christmas PartiesMy office this year is having Christmas lunch. In the office. On some desks we are going to clear the monitors off. The computers underneath will keep running as we are behind on some deadlines and need to keep rendering.
OK, so some people aren't getting anything, but how Scrooge-like are your bosses when it comes to Christmas?

"All the wine you can drink"One christmas the boss I was working for at the time decided, as a festive bonus, that we could all finish early and that anyone who wanted could go to the office and help themselves to the wine he'd brought round. Sounds Ok right?
Well, the job we were doing was paid piecework, so by finishing early we all lost out. And the boss clearly didn't want to spend a lot of money on the wine, and it seems he didn't want to risk breaking any of his good glasses either.
There we were, 3pm Christmas eve, stood in the office, drinking the boss's home made wine out of half-pint glasses and coffee mugs. And it cost us all at least £10 each in lost pay. Ho ho ho.
