Basically for the past two years at work, our staff xmas night out has been non existent, 2 years ago nothing was organised at all, then last year, something was done really last minute by the manager who decided to only invite half the staff (to a pub that was just round the corner from where he lived) and even then the only people he invited was only the ones he worked with, he called me up 2 weeks beforehand saying just calling to confirm you're coming and I was like well, 1st of all you didn't invite me to it so i can't confirm it and second of all i'm away so no I can't come

So today I walk into work and they've put up a notice saying that it's happening on Sunday 15th dec, I know I'm not the only one annoyed by it, because i talked with a couple of people who I work with, once again the manager has organised it to suit him, he's done it at a restaurant just round the corner of his house, but 10 miles away from everyone else, because he lives in a little village that out of town, he's done it on a sunday so that him and the assistant manager/trainee manager are off so won't be tired as such if it'd had been on a day that they were at work and on a canal boat () because he's always wanted to go drinking on one

So we're all just a bit pissed off, cause surely a staff night out should have suggestions from the staff of when/where to go and what to do rather than just have him do it all to suit himself. Basically he's just pissed off all of the night staff
