My aunt had to retire early because of one of these company do’s
She worked as a manager in a cleaning company, the tax system in Ireland meant that anyone earning over a certain amount was taxed heavily so no one wanted to work overtime. As a way around this my aunt went to the tax office and registered to women Mary-Jane and Betty. Any overtime was put into their name and the cheque given to whoever completed the work.
The company was bought by a large corp. They arrange an event to give awards to long serving members of staff, she got an award. The new MD came up to her and asked if Mary-Jane and Betty were there as they would be getting their award next year.
She retired while she still had a pension.

If you engage in a spot of sexual harassment, or even just mild letching, I should imagine your invite will be revoked.
HTH.

I hate these things – we are going through a programme, and we are having a let your hair down disco with buffet food at a local hotel after an awards ceremony where everyone pats each other on the back.
Got my hotel room booked, cannot see a way out…. Argh!!!!!Tags: None
