I had to look up a Pollyanna! thanks for introducing me to that term.
I hate all types of company parties because of all the reasons listed above plus the fact I tried to not take certain individuals into what I call my personal friendship group. I worked with many people with whom I was friendly at work but had no contact outside of work. My other biggest peeve about office parties was those potluck ones where I would bring an item but because my work duties didn’t allow time to join group, I would never see or participate in enjoying but all those employees who did the least amount of work would be partying hearty. I would also be stuck with the cleanup after they made pigs of themselves. So to all those parties. I say Bah Hum Bug
