The festive “Office Christmas Party”, was once something to look forward to. A chance to dress up, do a little networking (or not), eat, drink, dance, and be merry! All on the company’s dime. What’s not to like? However, as Ponyboy said so eloquently to Johnny or Robert Frost (whatever), “Nothing Gold Can Stay”.
Now a days , companies are doing away with Christmas parties all together. After the 2008 financial crisis, companies were and still are (in general) looking for more and more ways to save money. Also, employee participation numbers have declined. Employees no longer want to spend as much of their free time with their work family. They are more interested in a balanced personal and work life. Which ultimately lead to working from home and the virtual employee/job.
My sister is hilarious! A year or two after she started working virtually from home as a consultant, she made these hysterical photos of her having an “Office Christmas Party For One”. She shared them with her virtual co-workers and then with the rest of her friends and family on FB.
I not only found them LOL funny but a sign of the times.
I hope they will bring you some holiday cheer and a few laughs to brighten your day.
