Christmas party reminder
Along with most lawyers, we usually send out a reminder at Christmas about the perils of the Christmas party. This year, drawing on years of experience, we advise the following:
Don’t pay for free drink all night. (We know you won’t need telling twice) It’s a really bad message
Do remind the good folk known as “staff” that they represent work, and should not fight or engage in sexual activity in public
Do remind managers not to talk about promotions or pay
Do have a delegated “sober person”, preferably not the office junior, but someone with authority
Do stick up a tree and decorations
Do ignore people who seek to take offence at said tree and decorations
Do eat Quality Street to excess
Don’t put mistletoe up
Don’t have the party in the office unless you want the customary photocopy of some ones buttocks turning up.
