SO's not invited to holiday dinner/WWYD?
| Mon, 12-08-2008 - 4:11pm |
My company just emailed me the info on our holiday dinner. Its semi-formal and the doctors are hosting it. Spouses and SO's are not invited. I suppose that is to keep down the cost. It is just dinner and a gift exchange at a rather pricey restaurant.
I feel bad that BE can't go. I'd rather that they had it a reasonable priced venue so that we could bring our SO's. But I feel obligated to go. What would you do?

I agree with you whole-heartedly, but because it's work-related, I'd feel obligated to go too.

I wouldn't want to go, but I probably would because like B said you almost feel obligated.
The main problem I have with situations like this is that these are the type of places where work place romances/flings can happen.
ITA about lunch being a better idea. I mean, I don't want to be biting the hand that feeds me, I should be thankful for the dinner and all. But wouldn't lunch out with or without our SO's and a nice little gift certificate for the employees be better? I just don't get why it has to be at a place that so expensive, and at night, drinks served..but without our SOs. I'm not sure how BE will feel...I have not asked him his feelings on it yet.

Plus given the fact that holiday season is already busy, so giving up an evening out WITHOUT your SO is asking a lot, IMHO.
I own my own business, and we hold a lunch for our employees.
the past we have also arranged for them to have a night out with their SO on us - dinner and limo provided
Moon....can you please email that to my bosses/doctors lol???? You are the BOMB of all bosses!!
Thanks, Pac, but you know, it's the least we can do for them.
