Holiday Celebrations in the office
Does anyone here participate with office celebrations?
Has there been times when things in the office have gone very right or....very wrong?
Please do share.
One of my stories is that I remember one year in a place I worked, I started a secret Santa exchange. It went wrong because for everone's list I was getting back, each person was asking for a gift card and BTW the dollar amount was 25 dollars. I pulled the whole group together and told them that they have to redo their list because to ask for a gift card was just as good as someone pulling out cash and exchanging cash and that if they couldn't think of things that they wanted from the particular place that they wanted it from, then don't participate! All the needed to do was think of three things that either equaled up to 25 dollars or three things that was 25 dollars each (they would get one of them) and that would mean more than simply getting a gift card.
Hehe...well you know some people got pissed at me...so a few days later, some of them got back to me with lists and in the end when it was all said and done, it worked out a lot better for those that partook and then the following year, everyone including those that missed out joined in.
So what do you have?
Who got the Boss a prank gift?
Who got drunk at the office party?
Who brought the wierd food to the potluck that didn't get eaten?
Share your tales.
