Back
when I had an “office” job, Xmas parties were great, mainly
because that was a bit of time we weren’t working. And there was food.
Then one year the boss decided that anyone who wasn’t actively working
had to clock out for the party. There were only two of us at the party,
the two who were legally logged on those hours. And therefore, only two
of us brought food -the rest of the staff clocked out and left. The
moral of the story is that people who aren’t paid to be there would
rather spend their time with people of their own choosing. This skit
from SNL is a bit of a fantasy, as jobs are too precarious
these days for anyone to actually let their hair down during an office
party.
