I think its a very foolish shortsighted decision by the management

I'd say when push really comes to shove they wont be able to manage their way out of a paper bag

They won't care. They have baubles of steel.

Find out where it is and turn up .

admiralofthefleet

work to rule i say

peterk675

Bosses wife will be home alone

Call over with a bottle of wine and start an affair

That'll show your penny pinching boss!

There must be a reason for this, Either this has always been the way and the management are snobby and only consider the office staff as 'real' staff or else there was a feud started by one party or the other and there is no longer a will for the two groups to mix. You need to tell us more OP!

Very unfair. They work hard and should get to play hard.

franktheplank

Is your workplace like this? (sorry for poor clip quality)

james142

guessing you dont work in the office then...

molly09

That is terrible, the office staff should refuse to go unless their collaugues are invited, if managemaent refuse, just organise a few drinks for everyone,
That is so poor for Moral in a time when Moral is so low in most work places due to the recession

woodoo

Those manual working types can get a bit rowdy with the drink. Keep them at arms length old bean.

Very bad form then if thats the case. I would just organise a few drinks amongst yourselves and enjoy it and make no mention of it to the office staff and keep things professional with them, maybe even keep a distance from any birthday or work leaving dos in the future, its obvious they dont regard you on the same level so keep things cool with them and try to just focus on the people you do like..

I hear ye . That's a bit shiyte but why don't you , (you) organise a night out for ye . Make a big deal about it. Push the boat out . Go to a club and all dance in a large circle.

That's what we did this year . Great fun

depends on the relationship between yarc&office staff . like do the yard staff work completely different hours to office staff? are they contracted by a different employer? is there much, if any, social interaction between both?

Doesn't really make much difference though - either the employer holds a party for all staff (together or separately) or they are playing favourites and excluding one group of workers.

Even in the case of contract staff I think it's a pretty crappy way to treat employees.

keano_afc

Where have you been OP? The whole steel industry is gay.

ManOnFire

think the office staff has some responsibility here, if they respected ye any bit they'd make a point of having ye involved

frank reynolds

just show up.

mariaalice

Thats dreadful how can the owner or managers of the company do something like that in this day and age.

davetherave

Perhaps one should have ones own end of year box social with ladies of the night and partake in gambling events, and don't invite any of "them".




And afterwards you can take a dump on the bosses desk.
