For whatever reason, I tend not to take part in office dos. I don't think the reasons are that important it just doesn't happen. However the Christmas Party is something I suspect we're all expected to attend and therefore there's a chance that not doing so may have an affect on our respective working lives.
Overlong and wordy sentences aside, in short this means I had to come in a suit today, wearing shoes that hurt (not entirely true since I've cheated and am wearing trainers during the day). What's the point of forcing people to do this? Next there'll be a mail going around saying how we MUST enjoy ourselves. I mean, just read it: "Formal parties" - isn't that a contradiction in terms? Tch.

ReplyDelete>>Formal parties
ReplyDeleteFormal is the dress-code fool not the ethos of the party.
The way I see it- if you didn't want to go, you shouldn't even think about it. If the expectation is that everyone should go, I'm sure you can make up some excuse such as, "I have other plans".
