Company Christman/Holiday parties?


Nov 19, 2020, 12:12 PM

Just curious as to what your companies are doing for parties this year.

Cancelled? Employees only? Outdoors? Business as usual?

The restaurant that hosts ours has cancelled, so just trying to see what others are doing. We don't want to do nothing if other people are doing stuff, but also don't want to have one if no one else is.

FYT:

Sheeet, our office has been pretty much closed and everyone


Nov 19, 2020, 12:13 PM

virtual since March. No office party for sure this year.

we're not having one (it's generally LARGE)


Nov 19, 2020, 12:15 PM

instead, they're giving everyone a selection from about 8 options from Honey Baked Ham

What about the drink tokens?


Nov 19, 2020, 12:36 PM

All the money saved from not having a site???

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


it's a decent sized ham.


Nov 19, 2020, 12:40 PM

they've gotta be saving a chunk-o-change

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They saved a chunk last year by switching to the stadium


Nov 19, 2020, 12:43 PM

and serving chitty food.

Nov 19, 2020, 1:02 PM

there NOT being much food left by the time I got there.

I didn't mind the stadium set-up...what food i DID have was meh

Nov 19, 2020, 12:16 PM

Since I'm the only employee...


Nov 19, 2020, 12:21 PM

I'll have one just about every night through New Year's.

Not having one (thank Jesus). It's always been a pot luck


Nov 19, 2020, 12:21 PM

I assume this company pot luck was the actual source of COVID and not the yellow man, as the gov't would lead you to believe.

badge-ringofhonor-clemsonsteve02.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Man, I miss pot luck company lunches.

Sittin there, eating cold Publix fried chicken while Tina from accounting repeats for the 5th time how she stirs the onion straws into the cream of chicken soup for her famous green bean casserole, running out of conversation after 2 or 3 sentences with people in departments you believe to be massive wastes of money.......Christmas man, Christmas.

Not having one this year


Nov 19, 2020, 12:23 PM

also we don't have one ever.

But especially this year.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I like your funny words magic man


I thought you would just save up all of the candy and


Nov 19, 2020, 12:27 PM

left over pizza you strong armed from the 6th graders in the cafeteria and split that up.


Life as a cafeteria monitor has its perks.

badge-ringofhonor-clemsonsteve02.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Big topic here. We are having a restaurant to ourselves on a


Nov 19, 2020, 12:30 PM

Tuesday night. We will mask and have several smaller tables rather than one big table (14 of us).

If our Commie Governor allows restaurants to stay open, we're still doing it.

COVID SUCKS!!!

Get them to cater it and have it at an outdoor venue, my man


Nov 19, 2020, 12:41 PM

The events we've gone to this year have done that, either food trucks or catering somewhere outside. Frankly, I think everyone enjoys that kind of thing more than being in a restaurant anyway.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-lakebum1-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Pretty good chance it'll be too cold for that here in VA.***

We are having something, but Greenville location


Nov 19, 2020, 12:37 PM

is in startup mode. I don't think we have 20 employees here yet. CEO is coming to town, lunch with him 2 days prior + the party. I assume it HAS to be a +1 otherwise it isn't really a party, is it?

TBD

Where is it, what’s the dress code,


Nov 19, 2020, 1:58 PM

And what’s a bigwig’s name that someone could hypothetically drop and have others believe that he’s an out of town VP?

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I think our bosses are excited to use Covid as an excuse


Nov 19, 2020, 12:43 PM

to not have a party and save some $$$ :)

Nah - they said they might do something small for employees only, like close office early and have cocktails on a restaurant patio in the afternoon instead of nice sitdown dinner with everyone's spouses/SOs

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We are having a YUGE party at our office.


Nov 19, 2020, 12:44 PM

Of course, I'm the only employee.
