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?

selective tightnessLast week, my company paid for all 30 employees plus their partners to have a 3 course meal with all the wine and champagne we could drink in a very swanky restaurant overlooking the Arc de Triomphe. When we had all eaten, we got VIP access to the club attached to the restaurant and the company paid for endless bottles of Whisky and Vodka to be served to our tables (at over 200 euros a bottle). Earlier in the day we had all received 50 euros of gift vouchers. I was given a budget of 300 euros to buy and decorate on xmas tree (I actually spent 150 and did two trees).
This morning, I got an email from the office manager saying that I couldn't have the box of staples that I ordered last week (cost 1.58 euros) because I ordered a box two months ago and he doesn't think I can have used them all yet.
My company doesn't believe in finding the happy medium
