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?

Tight Yank...Last year our MD (American) paid for the first round of drinks at our Xmas party, costing a total of £64 and then, just before leaving, whispered to me to thank the staff for their hard word and then said that they should then buy their own drinks.
I was pretty pissed off at this, mainly because we'd had a great year and had earnt him TWO MILLION quid profit.
After he'd sneaked out I put my company credit card behind the bar and then went on to spunk up another £850 in booze.
The next day he found out and went balistic. I said that I was only following his instructions after he whispered to me "that I should buy the lads drinks for all of their hard work" - he denied this - but I said that because he had whispered to me in a very loud pub that's what I heard.
He then walked off and sulked for the rest of the day. Bloody tight-arsed Yank!
