I was working for a small company that got took over by a bigger company. All good. First Christmas do with the new company was about 160 miles away from our office. It was back tie, had to pay for drinks and it was really stuffy and no fun. I vowed never to go to another Christmas do again with that company.
The next Christmas do came round, boss came over to me and asked me if I was going and I said no, the reply was “yes you are!!!!!”. Luckily I had booked that as time off. His face I told him that was priceless, he even checked by holidays. He did not try and force me after that. If he had of tried, he would have got a fuck off and chat with HR.
Needless to say I do not work at said company. Anyone had something similar happen to them?
