This time of year we actually enjoy going to work, employees walking around with smiles on their face’s whistling and singing Christmas carols. Christmas songs being blasted out across the airwaves as Directors and office staff walk through the factory talking to everyone, there is a joyful mood in every workplace, although much of this exuberance is not due to Christmas Day it’s down to the works night out.
On the day of the Christmas party the talk within the workplace changes from work, to what people are wearing and who will look the sexiest amongst the office staff, not much production is done, it’s a day spent in high spirits doing maintenance as all machines get greased, oiled and washed down, much of the chat is about the night out. It’s a great feeling when the supervisors tell everyone they can leave early in order to get ready for the nights festivities.
The night starts off in great spirits, everyone in the pub having a great laugh, the boss buying drinks for his employees, everyone laughing as the young apprentices trying their luck with the office staff, groups of people starting to form as the pub fills up.
Britain has one of the worst records in Europe for binge drinking and it’s not long before people are downing the aftershock and slamming back the tequilas. At this time the innocent Christmas kiss can be taken in the wrong way and the man or woman that was your workmate is now following you around the pub thinking they will be getting much more than a kiss.
At this time of year, think about your actions, if you have too much to drink and think that you can take advantage of a work colleague against their wishes you will end up being arrested, may have to attend court and put on the national sex register, along with this you will lose the respect of your family and friends and even lose your job.
This Christmas drink responsibly and keep the respect of all who know you!
