When I worked for Accenture every quarter end was an 'office party'. The beers would be cracked open about 4pm even though technically we were still on the clock until around 9pm when the final figures would be announced. After that most people went to the pub but some stayed behind because there were lots of nooks and crannies in the building with big comfy sofa's to 'sleep' on.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:05 amNot worked in many offices then Derek!
Offices I have worked in knew work time and alcohol time should not mix but that didn't mean the location had to be different ... just the time! Work time over, break open a beer and have a chat à la Keir Starmer, (funny how he was allowed to 'party' but not Boris!) ... anyway, usually the chat would consist of work matters, a less formal evaluation of the day kicking around additional thoughts and ideas.
The lack of office experience is one of the problems with career politicians, they don't understand how the real world works.
Happy memories
