Is this a Christmas joke?

Terribull. No drunken letches at the Civil Service parties I couldn't wangle my way out of. Just a lot of stuffed shirts standing around sipping orange juice and talking about work.

I will 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I always said no, Kate
I just said "sorry, thank you but not my thing".
I expect I hurt their feelings!

If you actually read the full article is more enlightening. Nothing new, a few past cases going back in time,
Pointing out that parties are subject to the same guidelines as in the workplace daily, etc etc.
Usual D Mail mountain out of molehill who can we bash today.

It sounds a bit like the mothers of children who've been left off little Johnny/Hermione's birthday party list and feel very aggrieved, can't be true can it?

Personally, I'm with Kate, I didn't work in the public sector, but those office Christmas parties, well best to be avoided back in the day, you just knew you'd be fighting off some drunken letch Not a safe space as they like to say today but then we weren't accorded such deferential considerations.

Oh, I've read the article. Please ignore my last post. There is a grain of truth in the OP. But it's not quite how it's been presented in the OP.

If it is a joke it won't be one for long. We'll soon have Gnetters asserting that our civil Service is so woke that they can sue colleagues for hurt feelings...

Ahh

I worked in the Civil Service. I tried very hard NOT to be invited to Christmas parties.

Still laughing

I will 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Read it where?

Seriously?
