We don't have them. Our company is dreadful for things like that. Our old company used to give us 2 parties a year, since we've been taken over we've had 1 party in 2 years. Team turnover is huge and morale is rock bottom.
For the first time in several years the powers that be have decided a Christmas Party is a good idea.
The team are fractured, one side of the office hates the other side and does everything it can to drop the other in the crapper, half of the team is being privatised.
Yeah, full of Christmas fucking cheer!!
Out in Bristol in a few weeks time, we usually start with nibbles and shots around 9am in the office, then a meal followed by a pub crawl to find 241 cocktails. Always great fun and lots of antics.
