Avoid the hazards completely- don't bother with the party. It only leads to grief anyway!

My feelings exactly
At work I work
Quasi religious celebrations are reserved for family time.
I've never been to a works do that I enjoyed.

We used to have the Officers serving the Juniors/SNCOs food and drink at our christmas meal/party. I have to say they were royally abused, and expected to be.
I recall it was an oportunity to show our 'management' a different, more relaxed side of my character. I dont know if this still occurs but good laughs were had and I can't say much mental scarring took place.
Bullying aside (I would urge any organisation to get their head around the problem of bullying in the workplace), I feel some workforces don't gel in the same way as they used to, and I think it is because of worries over mistaken motives and singular indescretions. These worries stifle humour and other genuine characteristics, leaving a boring workplace full of insular individuals.
We need to laugh more and worry less, otherwise we will simply not attract the tallent we need and will lose any we already have.

Well, we will be having a party and enjoying it if previous years are anything to go by - but then most of us are sensible grown-ups.
We have more than enough time during the rest of the year to work hard, and have just recieved very good feedback from those we work for.
The decs will go up any day now, and no doubt they will make sure I'm not around when they put the high ones up (they always assure me it was done by blokes on platforms).
