Maybe it's not the party factor, but the hypocrisy that terminals can't but supplies until January and they are tipping back glasses.You got to stop worrying about every little thing. Most don’t care if we have a Christmas party.
There will always be, and has always been us and them.
Wow don’t you ever shut up. You got so many problems maybe you should just get out of the business altogether. What exactly are you looking for?Do you want a half million a year to drive a truck? As I’ve said before I feel well compensated for what I do. And I’m not on call 24/7 365 days a year.I work up to 70 hours a week and the last thing I want to do spend my free time with the people I work with. Try and have a nice holiday.It’s not the parties that matter to me as much as the hypocrisy of things now. We do it all and they reap the lion share if not all of the reward. Management is tottaly incompetent . We are being pilferage and there are those who still are waiting for some crumbs . AMAZING! The ignorance is dumbfounding
In short no.Wow don’t you ever shut up. You got so many problems maybe you should just get out of the business altogether. What exactly are you looking for?Do you want a half million a year to drive a truck? As I’ve said before I feel well compensated for what I do.

My opinion on upper management's perspective----"Deal with it"! Back many decades ago, which only a few would remember, the company Christmas party was quite an annual special event. There was a sense of excitement to attend. The venue was almost always a fine restaurant which was all company paid. It was something of a semi-formal with an hour open bar and a fine dinner for "ALL" employees and our spouses or who ever was the employee's guest for the evening. It gave everyone a chance to socialize with each other outside of our work environment. We were all valued as a critical part of a cause that we felt a real connection with. Those days have since vanished, time to just go to work day in and day out, collect a paycheck, and hope for a some type of livable retirement. Just a reminder of days gone bye.Who’s barn is holding A Holiday party this year ?
I heard there is a super big bash being held for the top brass no expense withheld.
2 different worlds now no more us just them.
Go team !
I've been here 10 years. We've never had a Christmas party at my barn not that any one cares if we ever did or not
And I’m not on call 24/7 365 days a year.
Not at all close to correct. When you assume....Why would you want to go to a company party? I assume it would be a bunch of bitter guys complaining about every little decision the company makes and how it negatively affects them.
They unfortunately don’t care about any of those things at our level . We are just body’s .Not at all close to correct. When you assume....
This is something that is missing. A party outside of work , with drinks. This allowed for bonding , trust , and friendship. Hard to duplicate that in today's workplace.
^^^THIS^^^I remember going to the holiday parties .. I dont remember leaving them ...
In the current state of our the workplace I hate to say your probably right but still it’s a nice gesture. It goes along with the lack of communication and team building.Why would you want to go to a company party? I assume it would be a bunch of bitter guys complaining about every little decision the company makes and how it negatively affects them.
