To a Jew it's totally worth it. Hell that's why I'm still Jewish...because they have TONS of wine, bagels, gefilte fish, veggies, etc., after services. I'd be Christian if they fed me too.

I'd go to any party dry or not simply because my work week consists of computers, phones, and interacting with ONE 65 year old that doesn't understand computers or phones.

I run my own business with my gf, so it doesn't really apply to me

But with previous jobs? Well, yeah, I pretty much hated a good number of the people I worked with. Obviously there were a few that I got along great with, but they're the people I would often be out drinking with

A dry Christmas party is like saying "I'm the cheapest boss ever, enjoy your fucking holidays"

Sorry, but that really pisses me off.

My Dad runs a company employing some 65 staff, and the Christmas Party costs him about $3000-$4000 per year, which he pays for no questions asked. He's always saying that no one ever thanks him.

A Christmas Party is a gift and a privilege, not a right that you should expect. It's a different situation if you work at a big multi-national company, but for smaller or family owned businesses, Christmas parties are very expensive.

Personally though, if someone threw me a grog-free Christmas party, I'd think they were a boring shitkicker who doesn't know how to get loose, not a tight arse.

Tax deductible, unless his accountant is a real fuckstick.

Though, to not even be thanked for throwing the staff an end of year party is pretty lame, I'll admit. And pretty stupid on the staff's part too Wouldn't be expecting too many good shifts, or flexibility for the next while.

Ok, so it's not your god given right to have your boss pay for you getting wasted once a year. But, a good boss would do it. Your dad is a good boss BTG's boss is a shit boss.
