So, my department is having a holiday party tonight...?!


Question: and I really don't wanna go. The people I work with are all right, but they irritate the hell outta me. They're cliquish, they gossip, and they're just all around annoying. They try to drag me into their little gossip circles and cliques, but I prefer to stay away from that because...it's simply just childish. I come to work to do just that...work, not to make friends.

I RSVP'd saying I "plan" on coming...not giving a definate yes or no.

Would you go to your holiday party in this situation? Are you going to a holiday party?

...or am I just being a b.itch?

In your situation, I would only go if the job was extremely important to me and I wanted to go out of my way to form relationships with the people I work with. You could drop by for just a little while, say "hi" to a couple of people, and then go on to whatever other obligation you have for the night.

go and bring a date and hang out with them

i would go for the free food

I feel your pain but just go and stay for a little bit, its just the "professional" thing to do.

If you don't want to go, don't go.

I worked at a place like that. I wasnt going to go, but I did and it ended up being a lot of fun! (they ARE serving alcohol right?) If it isnt fun you can just leave early, have someone call your cell just in case! Good luck!

i am going to a party later in the month and no you are not being a *****...i would do the same thing

Go, and be the envy of the entire party be being funny, the most smartly dressed, and fab-ooh-lous! You look like you could pull it off!

they trying to drag you to them.
if you keep on working there not trying to make problems just make up something that you cant go.

I would go so you don't give them anymore more to gossip about and show them that they don't intimidate you.

My Mother always told me when you are invited to a party you should go...you r kinda being a biatch...Merry Cristmas

Go, bring a date, eat the rubber chicken, leave early when no one is watching but after everyone has seen you.

I work for a wine distributor and they don't do holiday parties here. They might bring us lunch one given day this month but that's about it (too many people would overdrink).

Anyway, I never go to work functions or events - I say don't go if you really don't want to.

I feel exactly the same way you do about our Christmas party. I will go, though, just to be polite. No one says how long I have to stay so I generally stay for 30 minutes or so and then leave, politely excusing myself.

Sandy :O)

Go there, have a great time, and enjoy yourself, you deserve it. P.S. If that is your pick you are really hot.

Be a leader and not a follower.. I would go for the grub.. show my face as an employee but I would also break out claiming prior engagement to attend as well.. and if the party is to late.. just say you have a prior engagement and you cant attend.. send a card or a dish and call it a night..


Me personally I dont like stuff like that.. Keep it real will you..

Talk to a friend and arrange a "rescue call". Tell them to call you an hour or a half hour or whatever after you arrive at the party. That way if things are going poorly, you can tell your coworkers "Oh, I gotta go, my friend is having some drama." and you've got a clean and clear getaway. That way you've met your social obligations to go to the party, but saved yourself the trouble of dealing with the cliques.

Make the best of it...sit back and see how your coworkers get drunk and make fools of themselves. Take a camera and blackmail them. Be sure to include me in your profits

than dont go...

I never went to mine! I'm with you...show up to work, to work! Maybe just stop in, if your not having a good time leave! Good luck!

go to the party! if you don't it could affect your career. especially if you're a newer hire. just swallow your pride and go...

You go to work "to work"? Are you at work now? When you write all these questions and making friends on YA?

When you RSVP'd that you're "planning" on coming, sorry, that's a yes. When food and drink have to be ordered on those RSVP's, if more than a few yahoos answered "yes" meaning "I'm planning on it" but then don't because it's not a definite "yes" in their minds, then you know what? You've wasted someone's time and money. So at this point, I think you're stuck going.

If you don't, then yeah, I think you're a b!t(h
