Vent!!! Anyone going to the poorhouse because of work-related holiday events?

Ugh!!! Our school's holiday party is a "must attend" - it's $50 a person on a Friday at 4 pm. Open bar - big whoop - I don't drink. Also, we all have to contribute another $50 to the secretaries gifts. They get like HUGE gift card amounts. And, there is a baby shower and retirement party coming up in my office!!Chat Icon

Thanks for listening!

Nope...I work alone...no party, no gifts, no nothing. Although I always send gifts to the support staff in the FL office, they don't send anything to me....
