Holiday Party Behavior

Posted on December 18, 2017 by ASCENT: Administrator Support Community for ENT

‘Twas the night of the office Christmas party

Not a single employee dared to be tardy.

They put on their dresses, their jackets and ties,

Spritzed on perfume and said their goodbyes.

 

They hopped in their cars and drove through the snow

To join their coworkers with “plus-ones” in tow.

Everyone wanted to have a good time.

But some of them ended up crossing the line.

 

Jan wore a dress so short and low-cut

It showed off her cleavage (and even her butt)

Michael immediately went on the defensive

When Pam pointed out that his tie was offensive

 

Meredith avoided the small talk with peers

Headed straight to the bar for a couple of beers

Kevin showed up a whole hour late

Went right to the buffet line and loaded his plate.

 

Dwight wore a t-shirt and shoes that were dirty

Erin and Andy were overly flirty

Phyllis complained of the poor wine selection

Oscar prattled on about the election.

 

Stanley created all kinds of strife

When he showed up with someone who wasn’t his wife

Ryan’s new iPhone was glued to his ear

But Toby in HR had no power here.

 

When karaoke started, Roy sang a tune

So inappropriate it cleared out the room

Darryl’s “white elephant” gift was a gag

That book of erotica should have stayed in the bag

 

Kelly gossiped about the folks in receiving

Creed filled his pockets with silverware before leaving

Jim was the lone voice of reason, quite sadly:

The only employee who did not act badly.

 

Jim’s behavior was noticed; his boss gave him praise

And his next review came with a generous raise.

There’s a lesson to this fable you should never forget:

At your next office party, practice good etiquette.
