Why is Chicago the setting for so many Christmas movies?? I genuinely want to know if the city is/was known as the best place to experience Christmas or something... Either way, I watched this movie on Christmas and while it was a disappointment, I had to say that office party was wild! How are the Christmas parties at your workplace? More relaxed/intimate or loud and extravagant? In our company it is more about connection, than partying but wanted to know what the culture around here is..

The parties in our office are definitely more on the casual and relaxed side. We have secret santa gift exchanges and a potluck. Also, gosh I couldn't stand that movie either. But there are some who love it... exhibit A being my sister.

Our “Christmas” parties got pushed to the spring about 10 years ago.

This is not a joke.

Pros:
- astounding financial benefits, great healthcare

Cons:

- too many cultists
- closed culture with extremely compartmentalized information, working on a small piece of the puzzle, with reduced ability to demonstrate true value, unless already high up. 
- collaboration across teams is made unusually difficult and doesn’t seem encouraged.
- not remote friendly -- making everyone go back
