Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

my company has no party for us (since they are based out of state) and the company that we have a contract with, does not invite us

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

We don't have a company holiday party - we get 2 extra days off over Christmas instead.

But, the ladies on my floor do go out together for a nice dinner paid for by the company. This year it's at the 21 Club

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

Yes. This year's is at The Cutting Room.

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

Yes. It's at Chelsea Piers..it's a big bash..usually you can't get near the food or the bar. Last year there were 2000 people..

I slipped the bartender $40 last year so I wouldn't have to wait in line! They try to get famous acts for the entertainment but not this year, the budget was reduced.

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

Ours is at Captain Bills -- it's OK. I don't think I am going this year. I am boycotting that we have to pay $25 per person for small buffet/beer/wine/soda. I'd rather take the $50 and go someplace with DH.

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

yes. this year it will be at Ocean 211 in stamford, ct - staff only no spouses.

raw bar, oyster shooters, appetizers, full open bar then a sit down dinner.

since no one was stepping up to the plate to organize it, my boss and i grabbed the bull by the horns and were turning this mother out!!! LOL

im excited. now i have to get a new outfit

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

No we dont have a holiday party. We have what is called an "Annual Gathering." It seems as if we have people in our agency who do not celebrate holidays and they would not be able to attend if there was an affiliation with any sort of holiday. So it is themed - goofy themes that make no sense. It is held in a hall in Brooklyn that is decorated for Christmas anyway so whats the difference.

Personally, I think it is BS because only the agency calls it "annual gathering" and the rest of us call it a Christmas party - even those of us who don't celebrate Christmas call it that.

We dont pay for ourselves but we do pay for spouses if we want them to come. Its rare that people bring them.

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

It is the whole corporation so tons of people and their S/O's , tons of rooms,

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

We used to have a staff one with my old boss, but with this one we don't.

We do have a potluck for our students which is a blast, because they are from all areas of the country, so they bring in real ethnic foods.

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

I am working part-time for a tutoring center and we are being taken out to lunch/dinner

Every other year, in the school I worked at we had a big party (that usually I helped to plan) but it cost us money, usually about $50.00. We had a small staff and it was hard to get the older people to come

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

I work for a Carpenters local, so the party is at the headquarters in NYC. It is the same building that is rented by Hot 97 radio station. Goodie!

Re: Does your company have a holiday party?

We have a holiday luncheon! Usually the day before we break for the holidays, my boss caters in lunch from Zorn's. Then we get our paychecks & extra bonus & then we get to go home! I guess considering we are a small business, this is the easiest way to do it
