‘What’s the craziest thing that has happened at your work Christmas party?’ – 23 NSFW festive sackable offences

The work Christmas party is always a double-edged sword.

‘The boss and an employee snuck off to the bathroom, while in there broke the handicap rail off the wall. Boss’s wife showed up, went into the bathroom to compose herself after hearing what had just transpired, then proceeded to run out of the bathroom with said hand rail and chase the boss around the sales floor with it. 10/10 party.’

‘One of the company executives ending up kissing a member of his sales team. While he was kissing her, another woman who was also in his team, grabbed the girl off of him (because she clearly liked him even though she had a boyfriend) and they had a fight in the middle of the dance floor.

‘I used to work for a very large heavy metal record label, and let me tell you, some of those parties became the stuff of legend. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but one of the stories that always got told was about how two people got super hammered, and decided they wanted to have sex.

‘And where did they decide to do it? On the president of the company’s desk. At one point he walked in, saw what was happening, then turned right back around and left the room. His only comment was: ‘Make sure you turn the lights off’.’

‘The boss and a workmate (both very drunk) both decided it would be fine to get in a car with an also very drunk woman who they’d literally just met, who somehow decided she was fine to drive and they crashed 5 mins down the road. Thankfully, even though I was also very drunk, I could clearly see how fucking idiotic this was and got in a cab. They were all fine, miraculously.’
