I, like you, wouldn't go anyway, not being a corporate-ladder climber anyway . . . But still - it's the thought that counts. Maybe they'll sense the dissatisfaction and cough up a bonus for the holidays. I've never had one of those before. I could sure use it. (I was going to make an obscure Christmas Vacation quote about putting money down on a pool . . . too complicated.) 31055@blogcritics.org Tue, 2 Dec 2003 14:38:42 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/12/02/111352.php#comment-31053 We're getting a party. I likely will stay at home. 31053@blogcritics.org Tue, 2 Dec 2003 14:28:47 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/12/02/111352.php#comment-31031 Or you can do like my company is doing, which is a huge, very financially successful corporation, and do absolutely nothing for your employees. No party, no bonuses . . . nothing. Morale, needless to say, couldn't be higher . . . 31031@blogcritics.org Tue, 2 Dec 2003 11:31:40 EST
