What is even the point of this? I’d be annoyed I was having a week night wasted on zoom.

My former company had their Xmas party at a golf course in Rifle Colorado one year. Towards the end of the night one of the guests (also a client) pulled a knife on one of my coworkers. It was truly the wild west that night. Nobody went to the hospital or jail so all was forgiven by NYE.

Christmas parties on a Thursday sound miserable.


I love it because it means I don't have to sacrifice a weekend night here.

I would assume a Thursday Christmas party means off Friday, no?


We have unlimited PTO, but it's Q4 and our biggest quarter of the year so we'll be working.

Did you feel closer to them? I hope they never see how you occasionally rip them...

When I worked as a consultant with a country-wide staff, our Zoom holiday party was during the day.

Back when my wife had to work (OT baller now) a husband of one of the employees saw a guy grab his wifes arse. The wife turns around with a shocked face and the two have words followed by arse graber slapping her hand out of his face. The husband walk up and knocks the arse graber out. Turns out, the arse grabber was one of the doctors who owned part of the practice. Police are called, doc wanted the husband to be arrested up until the employee threatened to have him arrested for assault. Two months later the wife is let go with apparently a very nice severence.

One time I was invited to my wife's work Christmas party. We'd been separated for a while because I was really into my job, but she had to move across the country for a big promotion.

I hate flying, but I did it to try and patch things up.

We land, and there's a limo waiting to take me to the party. I was shocked.

The driver was this cool young man. He even offered to wait for me in the parking garage of my wife's office building if things didn't work out.

Things didn't go as planned at first. The wife and I got into a bit of an argument over her moving for her job.

Anyway, the party got wild when some uninvited guests show up.

Long story short: some things happened and I had to throw a German guy out of a window.

Good news is, the wife and I made up after that.

Was at a party and a guy got so drunk his pants fell down and either he didn't know or didn't care. Multiple people trying to help dress him. He was a big guy and he was flopping around like one of those tall blow up things that dance.

My company hired a new regional sales manager who got disgustingly and stupid drunk at ho first company social. Vp of Hr and vp of sales called him to private meeting room and fired him on the spot.
Lesson to learn...someone is always observing and no matter what others say you need to be careful at all company events.

I worked for a 'smaller" company in Dallas where the son had taken over for his dad, he was about 5' 4' 125 lbs with a terrible combover.

Of course he had some huge breasted stripper looking girl on his arm.

My X wife got drunk at our, Casino Style Christmas Party, and blurted out "Who's The Tiny Man with that Whore".

I slowly ushered her stupid arse out the door and went home

Unfortunately, I have no sex or fighting stories to share. The best I can do was one year our office (small office) made the younger workers do a Christmas skit at the party. We rented out a private room at a restaurant for our party, but otherwise the restaurant was open for normal business. One of the guys was a frumpy 6'3, 220 dude. He was dressed as Buddy the Elf. Evidently he got hammered and said something bad about his immediate boss...without realizing she was in earshot. He wasn't sure if she heard him or not, but he spent the rest of the party a nervous wreck that she did. Eventually, everyone coming to the restaurant that night was greeted outside by a big wasted goofball dressed as an elf sobbing and chain-smoking cigarettes terrified he had just gotten himself fired.
