Did anybody have a Christmas party at work?

submitted by HomerSampson to whatever 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 19:08:50 ago (+20/-0)     (whatever)

Mine was alright. Got $200 cash. We had to buy a $30 gift certificate or a $30 gift. Then did a yankee swap thing. The gifts were mostly booze and lottery tickets. It was catered we had a prime rib dinner with some side dishes. All in all not bad.

YEAH! And this was the craziest one I've ever been to!

They didn't have any bonuses for us, or prizes. What they had was thousands of turkeys! We were told we could take as many as we wanted! It was weird! These Huge butterball turkeys Everywhere! And the suits all smiles telling us to load up on the turkeys. They must have gotten a very good deal on those turkeys.
The first one we cooked was the juiciest turkey I've ever seen! It's like it had been soaking in a brine of some kind ever since it was packaged! Huh!

We had a secret santa thing at my work. We also had Prime Rib with some sides. I got a bottle of whisky and lottery tickets as a gift. I just came here wondering if we went to the same party...

Ours got cancelled, for some reason between the restaurant ran out of reservations and or were going bankrupt. Idk

Not in two years.

I’m self employed. Everyday is a party!

Cheers!

Smarter people said they are "sick" and started drinking few days earlier. I'm dumb, i have to cover them. At least i get money.

I always skip them. But I went to one once and we got like this custom crafted wooden cross. It was pretty cool. Put it on our fireplace mantle. One day we were praying as a family and it flew across the room and broke.

I went this year. Wouldn't do it again. The suits from corporate were there. The food was alright (restaurant banquet room) and there were a few items raffled.

Despite there being an open bar, a good chunk of people, including the suits, went to the bar nextdoor afterwards. Mind you, this was on a Thursday night.

Yess, we have party here whole week already, no gifts though. :)

"CHRISTMAS" (party)...what's that?

[ - ] 2Drunk 5 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 21:54:24 ago (+5/-0)

They make you buy a cheap gift to exchange with your coworkers while providing crappy food for free during your mandated lunch break in which your unpaid during that time.

[ - ] 2Drunk 3 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 21:50:31 ago (+3/-0)

Yes but I was working, I have deadlines and shit. I did take the free food which gave me digestive problems. Never eat something you didn't cook yourself.

[ - ] SilentByAssociation 3 points 4 monthsDec 21, 2024 05:59:18 ago (+3/-0)

Never eat something you didn't cook yourself.

I scarcely eat food at family gatherings for this reason. It's often commercial food full of seed oils and processed to hell.

The big D or the big C?

[ - ] Anotherone 3 points 4 monthsDec 21, 2024 00:48:23 ago (+3/-0)

Mine is tommrow, but we have the meeting first with all us contractors.

Last year I got 7000 cash.

[ - ] Rowdybme 1 point 4 monthsDec 21, 2024 04:48:18 ago (+1/-0)

7000? At a christmas party? Or was it just a big bonus for everyone announced at the party?

[ - ] Anotherone 0 points 4 monthsDec 21, 2024 17:00:19 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah at the Xmas party last year, will see what it is this year around 6.

I didn't ask what anyone else received and no one asked me either.

[ - ] Rowdybme 0 points 4 monthsDec 21, 2024 22:26:29 ago (+0/-0)

What I'm asking is did you get the bonus for going to the party. Or was it just a bonus announced at the party? There's a difference between attending a party and getting some gift cards and shit. And attending a party and getting 7k.

[ - ] Anotherone 0 points 4 monthsDec 21, 2024 22:31:39 ago (+0/-0)

For going? Like a white people participation trophy?

It was given to me as a good contractor you went above and beyond your contract and we recognize that, have some extra money as a thank you.

This year I was given a POF ar15. The renegade to he specific and with it a 10pack of magpul standard mags, and a case of pmc 5.56.

We used to until a guy got stabbed at the company Christmas party back in 2018.

Fucker had it comin'

[ - ] Shitcreek 4 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 19:51:54 ago (+4/-0)

I don't know if he truly had it coming but it was definitely a case of FAFO. Yankee wop guido carpetbagger piece of shit had been riding one of our welders for six months. The welder was a good old boy from the Smokey Moutains and was not a guy to fuck with.

[ - ] PeckerwoodPerry 5 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 20:13:57 ago (+5/-0)

Fuckin Yankee pricks, the only way they learn is when they push too far and have to spend the rest of the night picking up their teeth. I'm dealing with a little shit bag from Philly right now, dude's like 5'4" and maybe 120lbs soaking wet with shoes on. He's gonna catch me the wrong way in the wrong day, but I ain't the stabby sort of son of a bitch. Probably just kick him around the floor until he starts crying, I damn sure think about doing that daily.

Aww go ahead, you deserve a bit of entertainment, you earned it.

Find a creative means to knock out some teeth or rock his jaw.

Swift punch to the forehead should cause a reboot...gonna hurt though.

[ - ] PenisEnvy 4 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 20:01:18 ago (+4/-0)

We voted to just kick the party fund into our bonus and fuck off till new years if possible.

[ - ] HomerSampson [op] 2 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 20:10:29 ago (+2/-0)

This is what I want. I don't care about some fucking prime rib dinner. I can cook better food at home. Fuck the caterer. Fuck the gifts. Give me some cash and let me be on my way.

[ - ] mrevilpirate 4 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 20:27:51 ago (+4/-0)

Yes, and it was actually called a Christmas party. At a brewery, got a couple drink tickets and there was catered food. Pulled pork, ribs, chicken wings, kielbasa, few other things. Not too bad. No gifts.

[ - ] MaryXmas 5 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 22:41:15 ago (+5/-0)

We got lunch delivered and a team zoom. Ah, remote work. I still haven't done the lunch thing so I got one waiting for me. My boss is pretty great and he has done a lot for me professionally, I think I need to get him a gift card or goy beer subscription. I better do it soon.

[ - ] dulcima 5 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 23:06:30 ago (+5/-0)

I didn't go to mine.

[ - ] ProudRebel 6 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 20:10:02 ago (+6/-0)

My best work Christmas party was when I was a young welder. We all got turkeys and a bottle of Jack. He asked a few of us to stay after work and we got a pizza, drank the bourbon and did some thunder cocaine. My boss had excellent cocaine. LOL Miss that guy.

[ - ] Deplorablepoetry 5 points 4 monthsDec 21, 2024 04:08:30 ago (+5/-0)

I worked for a dude like that, he owned a few stereo/tv/electronics stores. Party was at his house. Plenty of booze and blow……., turns out I spent most of the night in one of his many bathrooms doing lines with a dude that I worked with everyday…., conversation went on for hours as it tends to do…., someone pounded on the door so we joined the party again….., dirt bikes in the snow!

[ - ] MayhemInChief 7 points 4 monthsDec 20, 2024 23:25:55 ago (+7/-0)

Yup. Got a $500 bonus, $150 kitchen knife set, milwaukee bit kit/utility knife/tape measure, a pound of chocolate truffles, a $20 subway giftcard, and a company t-shirt.

We also only worked for about 3 hours, then met up for a pickleball tournament, with first and second place being a foreman grill and a speaker set respectively. And of course, there were drinks and food. Party, gifts, and bonus depends on how lucrative the year was, but there's always at least something. (electrician btw)

I got a fuck you, scheduled on Christmas and Christmas Eve days I'd normally have off, and a shift drink that I can't fuckin drink. My wife gave me a pair of pants and a piece of pussy and they was both too big. At least I get my biweekly insult this week cause these fuckin bills ain't gonna pay themselves, and neither is my paycheck. Merry fucking Christmas.

"My wife gave me a pair of pants and a piece of pussy and they was both too big."

thanks that was funny.

[ - ] AngryWhiteKeyboardWarrior 4 points 4 monthsDec 21, 2024 06:33:29 ago (+4/-0)

At least you got pussy. I've been married so long I don't even remember what sex is. She hit the wall like Kool-Aid Man, kept going, and never looked back.
