I’ve successfully avoided our works Xmas do now for quite a few years.
They’re always in some cringe location. Poor meal then drinks in central London. Last time I went it was some shite meal at Chiquitos Leicester Square. Getting thrown out of a comedy club for some prick heckling one of the acts then Empire casino. I think that was 2016!
The last few have been at a huge all purpose ‘Christmas party’ event style evening in Battersea. Awful but I’ve dodged all of them. The shagging that goes on is also bloody awful!
Covid was a life saver last year. In fact they closed the building for two weeks over Christmas and are doing the same this year

WFH also makes it easy to chin off the Xmas Do now. Tbh, December is normally so nuts with a family, that it’s easy to provide a legitimate reason for giving unwanted functions the swerve.

I’ve dodged our finance services one for years (our wider directorate). It’s always in the day, crap food, crap location and cringy games and stuff.
Lately we’ve just gone for a normal meal with the procurement team instead. But it has been noted at senior level.
We were asked, funnily enough, yesterday by our Head if anyone planned on going. Yeah, there wasn’t much uptake! 
My team are all pretty close knit, and get on really well. But we’re not a ‘socialise after work’ type of group. We’ll all happily go out for a team lunch, but once the clock strikes 4 it’s like Cinderella!

I was thinking that. Im having a bit of an issue with some of the wankers I work with and not really in the mood to go partying with them, and true to my nickname Ill probably say something I shouldnt.
I go in on a Wednesday so hopefully its unlikely to be on that day.
Having said that I do love London at Christmas time.
