JustAThought

Aw ; that's terrible . And SO mean.

You know what to do - put the ideation in writing nice to whomever is in charge & ask for a reply. Would youze rather the e50, or to go to the party?! Sounds like the party could be a better goal : )

Must be a history there thou...

I worked in a company like that before, all the management went out on a staff night and us common folk were not invited.

The monday after their party they were all talking about how great it was etc etc. the pics didn't back up their words.

So us common folk decided to go out on our own party. we paid our own way, and it was EPIC. we flooded the company email with pics of the night, and the year after we all received in invitation to the office party.

We all turned down the invitation and went out on our own night.

Sounds pretty ignorant on their behalf .

Make up a few poles for dancing using your steel engineering/fabricating skills and hire in some strippers. Have a January shindig in the warehouse.

Sparks will fly!

There always seems to be some problem Christmas partys, and I'll never get it. Usually what happens they are too tight to do anything "offical" and things just break into cliques. Is the top man organizing the party or is it somebody lower down doing something with there buddies I wonder ? Next year you should organize your own night out and ask the boss if there's any chance of a few quid towards it, sometimes you just need to ask. If he has any cop on he'll see there is a split going on

2014 and still the same,the office staff are having their party friday night in the park house. The 8 lads outside are going home with nothing..

Why don't the office staff say no and not bother going to it? That of course is if the office staff actually cares.

SIX PACK

Why don't the lads in the yard band together and have it out with the owner ? Or are the rest of them all Pu**ies ? I know your not happy about the situation so your comrades should join forces with you as the speaker and have it out with Management
It should be Equal rights for all employees even more so when it's a small company. Ye are the guys that do all the dog work owner should show some appreciation for his hardest workers.

we got holidays today ,only got 2 weeks pay and they don`t want us back until the 12th,office back on the 5th

Galwayguy35

Lucky you, thats a nice long break.

Any jobs going there?

somefeen

if I worked in the office I'd probably refuse to go, ask the lads in the yard what the crack is and join in with their party.

Parties thrown to spite people are always un-****ing-believable.

That a nearly 3 week shut down would you not be entitled to clam unemployment benefit if the place is shut that long, they sound like a very mean and rather old-fashioned in this day and age, unless ye made eejits of yourselves one year on a Christmas night out.

My husband once worked in a situation where all the engineers were taken our for a fancy meal and drinks and the rest were given money and told to buy themselves a few drinks.

Xmas work parties = forced together with a lot of people you frankly hate and thinking that some alcohol will grease the joints and people will get on. Went to 2 before, never again. Thats what your real mates are for!

Is there any chance that is a kind of voluntary social gathering for the office folks and its out of their own pocket?
