Did anyone else's employer cancel the holiday party this year?

[marmar]

Mine did. I don't really care - it always seemed like a silly excess anyway.

1. No, but my employer canceled my employment last christmas, does that count?

[marmar]

2. That's the ultimate party cancellation.....sorry to hear about it.

3. Shit! What a bastard!

Probably went to midnight Christmas Eve services with a pious smile on his face.

Someday, we'll take the power away from those types and run this world for the good of all.

5. Our raises got cancelled! But...not our Christmas bonuses. nt

4. I know of a large pharma company that did. But they cancelled theirs in January

well in advance.

6. Yep - don't know if it was to save money or just lack of enthusiasm

I was glad last year they dropped the gift exchange and opted for Toys for Tots.

One thing I liked was the boss took us to lunch instead of the stupid reviews we used to do. What a wasteful BS that was especially since anything I suggested wasn't even acted on. But always fun to hear the complaints of anonymous co-workers who didn't have the guts to ask to my face.

7. I never got a christmas bonus in my working life- I started working at 14,

retired at 59.

My bonus this year is that I got a med change today, saving me $100 a month just on one 30 day supply of pills.

Here comes Santa Claus.

8. I think I got like $50 or $100 once in my life

Been working since I was 19 and now am 57.

Amazing to me how all the big shots except for 2 salesguys forget how the IT, clerical, warehouse, etc., help make things work for their accounts & provide them with all the lookups & reports.

Hell it's rare to even get a thank you for a report they ask you for at 4:00PM for their overdue forecast that you have to develop on the fly.

9. They all believe they support you - you would not have that great job

if it were not for the captains of industry out there drinking lunch and playing tennis.
