Show us your worst Christmas company lunch or present..

[autofocus]

Hi there,

Heres what I got for Christmas from work.



Not bad, think it normally costs around £70 per bottle.

Only reason I had one (as a director) is we got a great deal on it and ended up buying a case of 12 bottles.

Regards

Tim

You do get the upsides of being the boss though


Didn't get a staff piss up either. The place has been somewhat sombre to say the least in recent times.

That's an absolute disgrace! I mean, what sort of person decided to purchase Coke Zero over Diet Coke...

If it's "fill in the blanks", I'll start.

A massively subsidised final salary pension?

I wonder if we work for the same one?

I was wondering the same thing, although your asterisks didn't quite work out there Mr Tapeworm, there are certainly the right number of them for it to be the case.

OK, nothing for the adults, but the kids' Father Christmas pressies were pretty nice.

I failed miserably there didn't I?

Maybe that's why I'm not getting anything at Christmas

3 letters, penchant for employing lots of management types to look after a decreasing number of people who can actually get the job done instead of producing a graph about how long it took.

My KFC is coming I am told. At lunchtime on 24th December just before they finally allow us to go home...

Well, my client took me (and 120 other "consultants" - ahem) out for a very nice lunch and a 13 hour drinking session.

I reckon I had something in the region of:

3 beers
1 bottle of champagne
20 to 30 standard measures of whisky...



And they even paid me for 8 hours work (I was in the office for 3!)

I got squat... Cheapskates.

My Gifts were this year from work

£100 M&S Vouchers
Lanson Champagne
Luxury Cracker
4 Bottles of Mulled Wine (Can't stand the stuff)
Port & Stilton (Can't stand that either)
Luxury Christmas Pudding
Iced Christmas Cake
Shortbread Biscuits
Thornton's Mint Chocolates.
2 x Christmas Scented Candles.

All because i've been a good girl in the 4 months prior to Christmas.

Sadly I missed out on the Luxury Hamper and the Table Decoration!!!!

If it's the 3 letter stripey logo'd firm known for their hardware, I know they don't spend money on their employees!

[bazking69]

You're not the only one who got precisely fk all....

We got a 3 course meal at our Christmas party, along with loads of wine and beer.

Also got a present of a bottle of Taittinger Millesime champagne which looks nice. Probably crack it open in the next few days.
