christmas parties - love em or hate em ?

I hate em these days. Too boozy and you're expected to be flirtatious with everyone including the bosses. Not for me.

I have a rule of never socialising with the company outside of work time. I go to some parties but work ones are out as management are the enemy.

@zonavar68 I agree. They are work colleagues. I might have friendships in addition, but I generally compartmentalize. Crossing those boundaries are risky.

@Neoerectus Especially with some much immersion of work socialising with social media, etc. and stuff like Code of Conducts, etc. bandied about like a #metoo banner in the corporate space.
