Bosses ruin Christmas parties, say employees

LONDON - Bosses are often mood-spoilers and that’s why many employees think their Christmas party would be ruined if bosses show up.any workers fear they will react violently if their boss turns up to office festivities and worry an appearance from their manager could spark a violent reaction.

Out of 2,000 adults surveyed by restaurant chain TGI Friday’s, 27 percent said they feared they might not be able to resist telling them exactly what they think of them.

One in eight was even concerned things might turn physical and a third said having the boss around stopped everyone having fun, while one in five said they did not want them to attend at all.

Commercial director of TGI Friday’s UK, Darrell Wade said bosses who want to join in the party should give their staff what they want.

“The office Christmas party is all about cutting loose, having fun and celebrating all the hard work the staff have put in over the year,” Sky News quoted him as saying.

“Bosses who want to join in the party should give their staff what they want, which is a mix of a lively atmosphere, great food and indulgent cocktails. On the bright side over half the population don’t mind the boss coming along, even if the only reason is to pick up the tab,” Wade concluded. (ANI)
