we don’t have holiday parties
A few years ago there was an idiot analyst in my team who got absolutely wasted and walked around telling everyone they thought their manager was a total c-word
Oh wait, that was me
Previous company - the Managing Director (who is now CEO) took a colleague of mine back to his hotel room. He subsequently divorced his wife and married her. #ishityounot
Lol I’ve been consulting for 9 years and seen things get so beyond lit at holiday parties - so much so that I’m nervous any of that shit I type on here will get traced back to me and somehow used in the court of law
Partner actually “grabbed” a girl in HR - who does she complain to?
Many years ago, at a prior employer, saw a drunk analyst trip and fall into the table where a bunch of partners and spouses were sitting. Okay that’s a bad move. But scrambling to stand up and hurling on a partner’s wife was worse. Never saw him again.
One of my subordinates (married in her late 40s) got raging drunk, told our COO to f**k off and then got caught by the HR Director giving a blow job to the nerdy, 20-something IT tech in the bathrooms.

Ever see a Prince Albert piercing? I didn’t until last year’s holiday party
I'm quitting in four weeks. I might shit my pants at the Holiday party. We'll see what happens. Status is red.
@KPMG1 - Bain1 was referring to “skiing” a commonly used term for indulging in the illicit and illegal substance we all know as, “cocaine"
Am now actively nervous for my first consulting holiday party. Consulting, where even the parties cause stress.
True story. Former employer. Two analysts got into a heated argument at an after party and one of them smashed a beer bottle over the other one's head. Police were called. Both were terminated by the end of the following week.

Supposedly MBA offeree grabbed several spouses rears, and got offer revoked
I’ve not seen anything overtly insane, but I was always amazed with the PwC DC party before they split it up into separate service line parties.
Renting out the lansdowne, 5000+ person party with food truck corral, massive s’mores bonfire tent, multiple restaurant stations, dance floors, casino, and even had a station of people handrolling cigars and giving them out on demand.
It was the kind of shit they would occupy Wall Street over.
No longer.
Can someone explain bain1’s comment
@D3 🙄 clearly we call you the grinch
[Before consulting at a tech company] Office admin got beyond blackout drunk, asked any capable two-handed male to feel her new boob job, and was seen leaving the venue behind the wheel of a car without headlights on. Yes, it was incredibly dangerous and reckless. No, she did not need to pack up her box of stuff - security did that for her on Monday.
