Curb-it when i worked for ExxonMobil worlds bigest oil company and hold the record many times over for smashing the worlds 6 monthly profit details-- we had to "contribute" £15 to our xmas do.
Well we have had a good year this year surprisingly. But its not very exciting, theres only 5 of us in our office plus our partners tho my partner never goes. Its a new restaurant on Cornhill.
Not going to ours, listening to speaches by some stuck up crinkly old hag is not my idea of fun. It is on a Friday afternoon. I am going to stock the office fridge with cider and man the phones.
[cite]Posted By: Curb_It[/cite]of course... what firm makes you pay for your own xmas dinner?
Mine! £180 per couple. The employee is free, you only pay for your partner. One of my mates phoned the hotel to book a room to find the price of the room and a meal added up to 90 quid (less any discount they might get for a block booking) It no longer happens after the mass boycott.
I know but i go away next friday for two weeks so only chance to do it tonight really... as they cant have it without their leader! Plus I work for Americans so they can celebrate thanksgiving. now i've just got to persuade my boss we prefer quantity (oo er) as opposed to quality... as lost on me!
