Drink. Fall down. Start a fight. Grope someone. Get fired.
Ri5.co.uk reports that 87% of employers expect a claim for harassment after their Christmas party. And two out of three bosses said they’d had occasion to dismiss a member of staff on account of their Christmas party antics.
I’d like to be at some of those parties. Invites to the usual address.
Also, some of you must have some weird, offbeat, or just plain deplorable office party stories to share. Either leave them in the comments, or send ‘em to info@wurk.net.

Once saw a guy tackle a Christmas tree at the company party. Funny as hell. He didn’t get fired though.

For the 2004 Christmas party the company had, one of our coworkers was asked to leave the establishment because he had too much to drink and was accosting the employees :D I guess he loved the ladies a little too much when he drinks. As far as I know, he wasn’t reprimanded for it.

Aww my current employer has boring Christmas parties. But the company my friend works for - now hey, they have parties! If you hear of any good ones, take me!
