Office Holidays (MWB)

Picture it, a mandatory staff meeting in which we are all told we will be taking immediate pay cuts, and experiencing layoffs, but don't worry the office holiday party is still on...for those of you that make the cut (qualifies as an HR nightmare)!!

The only way to top this would be to then gather the holiday Bob's committee, and commence to throwing out ideas for a party that shows no sensitivity to the sacrifices you just asked of your entire staff...so here we are!

I must admit there are genuine moments of amusement, especially considering how completely out of touch some executives come across but for now its:

Office Potluck with assorted beverages and liquor provided
Donations of socks and underwear for the homeless
three live screeching performances...hmmmmm
and a partridge in the proverbial pear tree

One of these things is not like the others...all works in progress...and we're off!
