What would be the look if I skipped my holiday party? Cooler than everyone else, thinks he's cooler than everyone else, awkward, or not worth a promotion?

It depends on what your look is the rest of the year. If you act like you're cooler than everyone else then probably. If you're just awkward and don't like big get togethers, people usually get it.

I would imagine it would be “wow, did they really just skip the party to see if we cared”. Although that would probably be better than no one noticing - I had someone on my team who didn’t like the venue that was selected (they’d had a bad experience with a server there), so didn’t show up on principle. No one noticed…

If you’re not going because you don’t like big get together or because you have other plans, just say so. People will understand.

Depends on your office’s culture. Do they have optional Happy Hours (or any other types of non-holiday parties)? If so, what do others think about them and how many go? If some or barely anybody shows up to them then you could probably get away with missing it without judgment

Basically, gage everyone’s attitude towards non-holiday office parties to see whether skipping will be a deal breaker or not
