"COMPANY" Xmas Dinner Partys

[xix]

No, I am not typing/talking about the TERB xmas party.

Since xmas is coming I thought it would be interesting to read a few stories.
This has to do with the company you used to work at, or work for, or work in. I am sure most people here can tell a few interesting stories about their company xmas party with out divulging personal info or company name.


I will start off.

1. Next morning after the guy wakes up not knowing whose house he was in. Sees a girl next to him, on the living room floor, not the prettiest from the company, then he wakes her and asks " where are we?" the fool told the story

2. A shallow young girl brings in her new beau, she gets approval from all the ladies co-workers that he is a good catch. I guess the new beau heard this and dump the girl the next day. I heard, not my comment: He might as well get himself a better catch. He realised she wasn't that big or whatever.

3. We had a co-op student. One of the top females in the office danced with the 20yr old guy the whole night. you can imagine the rest as to how they danced and she wan't drunk. while she told the husband it would be boring for him to go.

bring it on....

Here are a couple...

...perhaps not as interesting as some others people will post.

Senior VP and a female Director (Senior Manager) were know to be having an affair (He was married - she was not). Everybody knew, everybody talked about it. Anyway, Christmas party comes, seats are assigned randomly, with one executive per table so everyone could get their "smooze" time with a bigshot. Also, that way people wouldn't just sit next to their friends...you'd be forced to sit with people you might not know from the company, get to know others, etc. Anyway, my wife (now ex) and I ended up at the table with the Senior VP, and of course others joined us. The female Director arrived late, and the only seat at the table left was - you guessed it - next to the Senior VP and his wife. You could have heard a pin drop when she walked over to the table and saw that she was "stuck". Now, I'm thinking since SO MANY people know these two are fucking the wife hs to know as well, and she just stays for the benefits (wife was homely, female Director fairly hot in a MILF kinda way). You could have cut the tension with a knife...the entire table just sort of stared and mumbled all night (remember, everybody in the company who is anybody knows these two are fucking). The wife NEVER looked at the other woman the entire night, never spoke a word to her. The Senior VP looked REAL uncomfortable - I tried to help him out by asking him questiosn about business all night...LOL

Went to (ex) wife's company Christmas party one year. About 3/4 the way into it people keep coming in and out of the dance hall / meeting room (it was at a hotel) laughing and giggling. I ask wifey "what's up"? She asks a buddy she waorks with. Seems a couple young and stupid people (male and female) from the company could be seen out in the hotel parking lot having sex in the back seat of one of their cars. I guess normones and booze REALLY cloud judgement - I mean...you are AT A HOTEL for goodness sake...why are you fucking in the parking lot for everyone to see?

A while back I had a pretty hot assistant. I mean hot - hot enough that she made money on the side as a model and by being a "girl" (you know, wear a bikini, hand out flyers, put on a tight t-shirt that says "Bud Light", that stuff). Anyway, assistant and her BF come to the company party. She brings her BF over to the table where me and my now ex were sitting. She introduces her BF, and of course, not wanting to be rude, I introduce her to my wife. Except I called the assistant "my wife_____ " by accident (to be honest I was nervous...ask any guy who had a hot assistant that he worked closely with about the strange dynamics the relationship can take....). Assistant and I both laughed. Her BF and my wife were not amused...

I wonder why she is your ex now?

I generally try to avoid office Christmas parties and will only attend them if the boss really twists my arm.

For big companies, it's really pointless, because you're just a number, you usually have to pay some kind of fee, and everyone just segregates themselves into their own little cliques anyway based on age, race, attractiveness, marital status, etc.

For a small company (nowadays), I still try to avoid it, because everyone else is married with kids (or engaged), and when they're not going on endlessly about their kids , they're talking about work!

Also, it seems like most people go to kiss-up to the boss. It's all political, and not really any fun, IMHO. I don't think I've ever attended one where I had anything resembling a good time. So last year, I went, said "hello", stayed for about 30 min, and then said I had to leave for the airport to go on vacation (which was true).

Our company cancelled Xmas parties on a global basis some years ago. I doubt they will ever come back now.

The best Christmas party of all is the one I’ll never remember. lol. The part I do remember is I was so surprised at the venue and the how this company went all out with all the food and drinks you could handle. I was working for this telemarketing place that was in this real dungy basement office in a falling down old building on Front near Church St. (this is way back in 1990.) They had three shifts and with admin staff etc the total was about 120 people. When they sent around the memo about the party it said comp food and drinks etc I thought oh sure a few chicken fingers and 2 or 3 beers and it will all be over. NOT. They booked the entire bar some place on Queens Quay. (Don’t remember the name) When I got there it blew me away. All these hot babes were walking around with trays and trays of finger foods AND we were told it was open menu. Order anything on the menu you want. AND drinks all night till closing! Back in those days I was the wrong guy to say that too. It didn’t take me long to get into the festive mood… those double rum ‘n cokes were going down like water. I was walking around getting everybody into singing Christmas carols. I was offering the hot babes to carry around their trays for them… getting in a real party mood. The last thing I remember I started taking a real shine to this busty petite E. Indian bartender who was serving me some nice size doubles. So I settled in at the bar… starting flirting… knocking back those doubles… next thing I know I wake up the next morning and I am sleeping on my living room floor. Three days later I went into work. As soon as I arrived one of the managers calls me over, hands me a cheque and says “here is your final pay, I have been told to let you know we will no longer be requiring your services” To this day… I have no clue what happened. Rotflmao.


Merry Xmas.

When you said you were offering to carry trays, I peed myself, but then it got better...

I can't believe that no one told you what happened... you must be the urban myth of that place...

Time to start a new thread I think...

I did ask the manager why of course I was being let go. He just said again... "I have just been told that we no longer..." and would not elaborate. And I never bothered to ask any of the rest of the staff. I just headed straight out to the bank and then the nearest bar. And I have never seen any of those people again. Not that I remember anyway. LOL.

3 stories:

1) Right out of school, I was with the company for 4 months, I was sitting at the table with some executives at dinner when another employee pretty drunk came up and started to yell at me. Apparently, I got an account he wanted. I stood up and said we can address this in the office later. I turned to look for help, (the executives were not impressed with this guy) and he punched me. Lip bleeding, food and drink all over me. I just smiled and responsed, "I guess there was a reason I got that account." He went to hit me again, and the controller got him in a head lock. He calmed down, was escorted to the door, and we never saw that guy again. Thanks to him, I was promoted and the executives were impressed I didn't smoke him.

2) More resently, we went to a local pub for an evening. I didn't know him, but an IT guy got drunk and was yelling out who was surfing porn and he had records. He was pointing at managers, and yelling the web sites they visited and the stuff they have saved on their machines. Heard he was never seen again. Then behaviour policies were enforced after that.

3) This was related to me from a friend when he worked for an insurance company call center people. He caught 6 people in an orgy in the gym. Smart ass that he was, offered to join in rather then say something. This is where the story gets fuzzy. He was wearing his socks only when they were busted. In all 7 people (4 girls, 3 guys) on the equipment and all fired on the spot. To this day, just a comment about a gym or orgy, he starts smiling.
