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?

Humbug!I work for WHSmith as a sunday part-timer. In about mid-november I see in the staff room a notice about the forthcoming xmas party - it was to be just a dinner in a hotel, and we had to pay money towards it ourselves.
Needless to say, a couple of weeks later I see another notice saying "christmas party cancelled due to staff apathy" - although one of the weekday staff had crossed out 'apathy' and put 'working', which is true because theyve got people working until 9pm every day.
I wasnt going to post that, its not great, but I found out today that I have to work next sunday. Seems our manager asked a few people if they would volunteer - noone did, so he enforced it. I dont get a choice in the matter. 11-5 - I have to go home, tired and ratty, to a house full of my family who are probably having fun.
Bunch of cranberries. I dont care if smiths is going down the pan, we should at least get a damn choice!
