Rayvin 5186 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Â Actually suspect you're right on the IT side. I've got one who'd give yours a run for their money though. We hired her for a basic data entry position, boring as fuck but important for what we do. She's been with us for 2 years and has only only spoken to people when forced and literally can't make eye contact. Â She came to the last one and it was painful to watch well meaning colleagues interact with her. Our FD made a sterling effort but she only responded with single word answers all night. Â I make a point of saying good morning to her each day and she justs says 'Yes'. Â But other than that the IT guys will be worse in general.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The corporate affair at sjp we had to buy tickets for got canned due to lack of interest. Â I've not bothered with the team day out on black eye Friday for a couple of years. Don't think I will as long as it's on black eye Friday either.

scoobos 298 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Well, I hate them usually. I want to enjoy them and when I was company owner I found no one would unwind and everyone just wanted to suck up or were on their best behaviour. Since then, I've now left the business back in the UK and work as an employee in a small company , and have EXACTLY the same problem, everyone seems so uptight ... For the first time in my working history I'm trying to find a way to dodge this one.Whats the point in calling it a party if everyone fears consequence. Its more a social event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42129 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 It's up to you to set the tone Scoobos. Turn up in a back-to-front mankini with a bottle of Thunderbird on an IV drip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'm not bothering with mine this year. It's at the same dive that it's been for the last 2yrs where the booze is cheap but rank and too many people turn into arseholes after getting absolutely hammered in the first hour. We have been given permission to get Christmas scrub tops though, so anyone who turns up for emergency surgery and is absolutely shitting themselves will be no doubt calmed and reassured by the sight of us in gingerbread man/santa claus/snowflakes get up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44495 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I've just shifted departments just before Christmas so I've had to knock back two sets of Secret Santa and two Christmas nights out. I've never felt so festive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7009 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 There's about 20 of us having a meal in HannahHannah and then out into town. There's worse ways to spend a night than with a load of young (female) nurses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 19980 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I love this thread.  You see I get called a miserable cunt when I say I don't want to go on mine.  Yet the others that don't, not a sausage is said to them I am off this year, it's next Friday.  But I am gonna drive, get my food and fuck off early  Last year I was in Paris for it, so managed to duck out of it.  Just CBA with it.  The lads I work with are a good bunch, it's just getting in town when it's full of cunts and watching the arse lickers suck the MD's cock.
