No. My company does a large party at a different catering hall every year. This year it was put off until January, due to working with LIPA and FEMA on Hurricane Damage.

We all go out to a nice lunch on the boss.

Then we do another lunch at the office - some contribution required. this one is everyone brings a dish and a grab bag gift.

OUr company pays for a holiday lunch - in the office. A few years ago some employees organized a holiday dinner for anyone in the office that wants to go - we pay for ourselves. And on Christmas Eve, we have a half day, but everyone brings in food, families/kids come and Santa give out presents (that the parents bring in). We have pizza, etc. that we all chip in for

Re: Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?

I've worked at a few firms and we done both-some the firm paid, some the associates had to pay some of it. For my staff, I paid or used my corp card.

Re: Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?

office party is free - and starts in 5 mins at the office

company party is thursday at Leonards- we have to pay- but my broker is paying half so people will actually go- it's $70 - which is steep for 80% of the agents who work my company

Re: Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?

No, but I work for a very large firm. Our firm cancelled the party this year and instead is donating the money to hurricane victims. A small group of us are going to dinner and some partners are coming so I am pretty sure they will pay the bill since its a pricey place.

Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?

When I first stated working for, my company they had a, big holiday party at Carlye on the green that was, free but that stopped when the real estate market crashed. Now they have a party but its donation base for on of, the charities the,CEO supports. As for corporate office where I work we have a catered lunch which used to be at the restaurant across the street. Then my department will go to lunch when we are done processing year end reports sometimes with the CFO.

We have to pay 100% for ours and it makes me so angry. The price varies but last year was like $130 or something. I was so shocked/annoyed last year that i recall starting a thread about it!

Re: Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?

Mine isn't really a company party, it's just a get together thrown by the actual employees at a bar-- there is a cover charge & you have to pay for your own drinks, but they provide food & dj.
DH's job throws a great party at a reception hall w/ cocktail hour, open bar, etc. & we don't have to pay.
They fall on the same night this year, guess which one I'm going to?? Chat Icon

Re: Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?

My day job, there is a company wide holiday party held at a restaurant, this year was Sugar, city office had at a different location and then each dept has a holiday party lunch, both are paid by the company.

At my night job, every year we have a holiday dinner at a restaurant that we have to pay for ourselves, it's not organized by the company, just something the employees do to get together since a lot of us don't get to see each other all the time
