anyone getting a lot of flack about their office christmas party?
my boss knows that some of our clients are witnesses (friends of mine in Elizabeth) and he's trying to find out if they're going to their own christmas parties ...
it never ends
i never went to ours at the beginning because it was an "xmas party" but then my third year here they decided to be PC about it because not everyone celebrated Xmas. they changed everything (even our shutdown was changed to winter break instead of xmas break) and called it the "end of year bash" and are clear of any holiday decor. anyway, i did get some flack for not going before.
I totally am. And my response that it doesn't agree with my conscience to go to a party that's meant to celebrate a holiday apparently doesn't hold water with everyone around here. I don't think anyone in this building has used the term "conscience" in a sentence before.
its the world chica, "conscience" isnt in their vocab.
Yeah, I know. I guess I keep hoping some people will have morals. If I didn't have that hope, the 2% of me that's not at this point deeply cynical would become so. And I like that 2%! :P
