Company Christmas party douchebaggery

My BIL, along with all the other employees of the company he works for, just got an invitation to his company's black tie Christmas Party at a swank restaurant in DC. Only a skeleton crew actually works in DC. Almost everyone else works elsewhere, including many overseas. No offer of a ticket, hotel rooms, or even time off. If you actually want to go to this thing, you have to pay your own way and take vacation days, all on two weeks notice. Pretty clearly they don't expect anyone to show up, and this is more or less a FU to everyone but top level execs and corporate HQ staff.

Go Find DupontsCircle(the poster) and frick him in the face.
Then go to the Camelot Club(My fave tit bar/restaurant combo ever).
Then go to the party and give them your 2 weeks notice for sucking assholes.

I’d be sharpening my resume because there is no way I’d stay at my job if they pull something like that.

That's so cute that you think they care enough about those little people to tell them FU.

Well this just ruins Christmas

On the flip side if the only invited those in the DC metro area then everyone else around the world would piss and moan about not being invited.
This is a CYA move more than anything.

Watched a saints game here a few years ago. Chicken wings were actually very good

I wish my company was like that . I have to travel from Louisiana to New York and if you miss the party you are basically black balled. They can't say it's mandatory but it is

Why the frick do you care about your BIL getting screwed?

I thought this was going to be about the guy who gets blasted and acts the arse at the Xmas party.

Dude No lie. I was looking for food and asked the Cab driver where to go. He sends me there. I walk in and everyone's in suits and all foreign and important and shite. The chicks all had bottoms on and pasties on the nips.
The Bouncer says something in his headset and says' Follow me' and we go upstairs. Much more casual and fully nude fine women. I had a cajun blackened chicken salad. Was on par with something you'd get at Chimes or Roux.
And they let me get 20 $1s on my Amex as part of my meal(expense account. hehe).

This. I actually don't see it as a big deal OP? I see it more as the headquarters or whatever is having a Christmas party, and they invited everyone working elsewhere just because. What are they going to do, fly in people internationally just for a party? That seems just as absurd.
For all your BIL knows, they could still get a bonus or Christmas "party" favor like a gift card to a restaurant or something.
If you have a bunch of salesmen or staff that work from home or outside of the main office, I see this sort of thing as a normal plan?
ETA: Is it not better to invite everyone with expectations most will not attend, or not invite everyone at all?

I'm more impressed the Christmas party is black tie. Does he work at a butler staffing service or some shite?
