Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?
It really depends. My old job we never paid. My current job we go out as a department, I work in a large hospital, and we pay ourselves.

Nope, we don't have to pay. We can bring our Significant Other. It's open bar and full sit down dinner at the Fox Hollow.

Re: Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?
I never had to at previous jobs, but at my current job we pitch in $20, which is essentially to cover the open bar, since the Company won't pay for that. It is usually in a private room at a restaurant.

Re: Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?
I work at a school and have always had to contribute to holiday parties. This week we had a pot luck lunch so technically you "pay" for that as well.
My DH works for a large company and he never has to pay for it.

Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?
Question for those who work at a school: Is it a bunch of people getting together or is it a school organized party? I think that could be the difference in who pays.
I have never paid for a holiday party (I don't work in a school).

Re: Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?
If I had to pay you can bet your ass I wouldn't go.
I don't need to go that badly
Ours was company paid for- but it was also an event for our customers so we really were working the whole night- networking and chatting up our customers.

DH also works at a hospital. When he was a resident and fellow, he never paid but I'm fairly certain the doctors or medical reps paid for the residents.
We held a party at our house for DH's department. We covered the cost ourselves. There is no money in DH's hospital budget for parties. They are having a holiday potluck lunch this week. That is their holiday party.

Re: Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?
This actually makes me sad. I work for the federal govt so there's really no holiday gatherings but when there have been, employees generally pay with supervisors adding a bit more. I would gladly pay if a party was organized but the work force is pretty scattered so it's hard.

It is organized but there is no budget for a Holiday party in a school. It is taxpayers money after all and the way they cut programs for arts, music, heck even math these days it wouldn't be right to pay for a Holiday party, any money there is should go to the kids not the staffs holiday party.

Re: Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?
At DH's company no one pays and it is quite an elaborate party! I'm a teacher and we just stared having a holidy party in my building a couple years ago and this year it is $50 pp. I'm going but not DH. A lot of people aren't going because of price though, but obviously the district wouldn't pay for us to party it up, especially on a school night

Do you pay for your Office Holiday party?
The last 4 years we didn't have to pay and we usually had a pretty nice party out at a bar or restaurant with food and open bar included. This year things changed drastically. We're now doing an in-office Holiday potluck where everyone has to bring something in. Company will provide alcohol. Lame.
