ClientCo.

Been there 15 months, and still not invited to department Christmas lunch. Only knew they were going because they rearranged a twelve o' clock meeting. Miserable feckers. :(

To show no hard feelings; give them all a round of coffee tomorrow, with added laxitive.
 
I have to say I'd consider that a lucky escape. Sorry.

Why not take in a box of 'Christmas' doughnuts and make them all feel like shits?

You're probably right.
 
We had five team outings today (coffee shop, post room, lunch, mid afternoon coffee and team meeting). I was invited to all 5 but gave my apologies for the last. I don't need to know how the new appraisal scheme as I'm currently butchering it for them.

That'd be me then. I believe there are lots of others - I've just never met them. MaccyD's it is.

Maybe my agent will part with 0.1% of the commission he's made from me and buy me lunch.

As long as you tell the permies its somewhere high class.

Only way I ever found was to refuse to sign any contract or extension accept over lunch.

I once persuaded an agent to take me and Mrs BP up the oxo tower. But his boss refused. Chaepskate.
