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?

Historical QuakersWell, the original founders of the company I work for were Quakers. No Christmas celebrations. At all. Ever. We get a 'bonus' paid sometime in March (which this year is heading towards a massive £100). Also, the management take great pleasure in telling us that the £5000 they would have spent on our Christmas 'meal' (in the canteen, complete with dead pigeons in the extractor hoods) has been given to the local charity, so the MD can get his leering mug in the local rag...
Also, since last year they also decided to have a 'factory shutdown' between Christmas and new year, which doesn't sound bad, until you discover they've stolen OUR holiday to have the shutdown. Those of us that have no holiday remaining? No problem, they've just taken it out of next years allowance...
