Christmas Party Company – Beware of the drunken lout!

'Tis the season to be jolly and to attend the annual festival of the companies – office party Christmas! The idea for the case of annual leave is based on corporate goodwill. One way to show appreciation to your employees during a year of hard work. This is fine, but the reality is that most working stiffs do the office Christmas party as a corporate event like that, being aware his career should attend. And then there's the inevitable visit of the drunken lout leads to a conclusion too far.

In an independent survey of 1,000 office workers show that one in five workers regret their actions in the Christmas party office. Social fears, boring events and open bars often lead to excessive drinking making office parties a social minefield. More than a third of workers admitting dreading "the walk of shame" to work the next morning to see if they had improved or limited their career the night before. The survey revealed that one-tenth of workers take advantage of the opportunity of good humor asking their bosses for a raise, another tenth confessed to being physically sick in front of colleagues due to excessive consumption of alcohol – not a big step if you're bucking for a promotion next year.

A third of workers admitted to regret kissing a colleague for the party or for worse – to come home with a coworker or client. One admitted to kiss the bosses' daughter was much younger than I thought! Eight out of ten respondents say they "dance like an idiot" in front of the heads and senior management. Most of those present say they hate the fact that the photos are taken during the event. These are often published on the website of the company, just so you can share your worst shame with which it may have happened.

Then there the photocopier … workers just can not seem to keep your body parts of the copier in the office during the Christmas holidays. People obviously let their hair Christmas time and the printer / copier tends to get a little extra-curricular activity during the holiday period. Copier repairs to a 17% increase during the season rental due to the "no work-related" incidents. Often, these calls are to repair the broken glass that had been granted, or to fix paper jams that revealed evidence of embarrassing images. One technician reported that a customer suggested an office identity parade to find the provider of the evidence of charge! The survey also found that foreign elements were found on a photocopier as a snake, a kitchen knife, a sausage, a condom stockings, a vibrator and even a check for $ 2,000.00.
