We had ours about 2 weeks ago. The company wont shell out for free booze or food anymore but had a great night.

Yep, have to go on Friday. Small 'official' one with a shower of management dry****es that we have to pay for... dinner and then looking at one another for a couple of hours... have the emergency call lined up already. Bigger unofficial one was last weekend, also paid for ourselves but savage craic.... late n boozy, nice.

Had mine on Sat night in hotel off Merrion Sq. The 5 course Christmas banquet was crap, music was well cheesy but by god we had great craic. Best thing to get everyone going is to have some music & a bit of a boogie. I think everyone drinks less if they're dancing a lot. So we were all merry but not completely s***faced.

We all get along fine so we can let our hair down & act like eejits & no one cares. Though the company is nearly all male & being one of a few females can get a bit daunting. Year before last I was the one female with about 15 rowdy Polish lads. Try getting them into a nightclub all at once, not a chance. Got them into the Gaeity when it was still open but we had to pay 15 or 20 euro each :eek:

I'd never say no to a party. You just have to make the best of it & make it into a great night.

Christ no. 2 reasons

1: Last years was deplorable, dullest "party" I've ever been to.
2: Just recovering from Swine Flu, don't think it'd be a good idea seeing as I was off for a week.

No Xmas party this year AGAIN!!

We had one three years ago. 2 years ago it got cancelled due to "cutbacks", last year we paid for our own. This is coming from a company which makes a pretax profits of millions and millions... :mad:

Really knows how to look after its employees like :rolleyes:

This year no one bothered organising one as the only female in our office is on maternity leave :rolleyes:

hooradiation · 16-12-2009 11:55AM

Had it on Monday.

It was fantastic.

I Love Mein Job!

Lollipops23 · 16-12-2009 12:04PM

I didn't go to mine; most of the people i work with are old (middle aged) and none of us fine young things wanted to go.

smokingman · 16-12-2009 12:13PM

Have mine tomorrow night but won't be going. Would love to but I've a month old screamer to take care of and I'd probably fall asleep after the first pint.
There's a 7 course meal and some free drinks and everything

Dunno about anyone else but I see the people I work with at least
5 days a week while at work! Thats enough for me!

When I finish work the last thing I want to
do is spent any more time with them!

Last time I went to one of the office parties it was 1997.
Fancy Dress, Table Quiz some Band I've never heard about.

Do you not get on with them or something?

Most of the people I work with are good craic and a night out tends to be great fun!

Totally agree bullets ours was a free meal and some booze but it was in the back of beyond so I didn't bother going as coughing up for a taxi would have been a drag.

HereticPrincess · 16-12-2009 01:38PM

Nope... Ours for some reason was on the 3rd.. & on a Thursday.

Had work the next morning at 8am & would have had to get home to Meath at some point. Damn it..

Weeknight nitelinks, we need em!

I dont get this, in any job I have had I usually end up calling a lot of the people I work with friends rather than just work colleagues and would go out with them regularly, not everyone but some of the people in the office.

Any weekend I don't head up home Id be out on a Friday and Saturday night with 5 or 6 people from work.

Are you going to your works do this Christmas?
