Dreading Your Office Holiday Party? You're in Good Company.
Whether you work for a larger company or a smaller one, there's a good chance your employer is planning some type of shindig during the holiday season. That party could entail a gathering with food and drinks at a restaurant, or it could mean cramming into your office's largest conference room to eat, drink, and be merry.
But while company holiday parties should be fun in theory, new data from Monster.com reveals that 60% of workers aren't looking forward to them at all. But not attending that gathering can have unfortunate repercussions. Unless you have a valid excuse, like being a parent without child care, your employer might regard your absence as a slap in the face. And that, in turn, could affect your ability to land a raise, get promoted, or generally enjoy a good experience at the office.
