That boring? office bash…

Friday, December 7th, 2007

Has your workplace had its annual holiday bash yet?
Ours goes in another week and it is always a very good time, usually lasting into the wee hours with cab rides home for all.
It’s a great excuse to buy some new heels and offers a chance to finally catch up with some people you just don’t get a chance to really connect with during a busy news day.

So, are you a party pooper?
A new survey by the Spherion Corp. staffing firm finds the older the worker gets, the less interested they are in partying with people at the office.
72-percent of workers over the age of 50 say it is just not that important to them if the boss decides to have a  seasonal get-together.

But go we will… 23-percent of workers say they feel obligated to attended the company festivus party.
An even smaller group of workers admit to being just a little embarrassed about their behaviour at said bash.
( check back  a week Monday…HA!)

Enjoy the bash… and think about your drive home before the party even starts.
