There is too much back room evaluation based upon unfair impressions anal old people may form.
We had one party where they hire a Kareoke. This one young litigation guy, had a few and he's doing "I Write the Songs" totally lounge lizard, but spot on perfect- substitutting lines to make it personal "When I look in your eyes, Hank Chinaski,"
he was a hit by any definition.
I was standing by his group leader and over hear him say "Hear that? That's the sound of a career going down the tubes."
Fuck. They provide free drinks- and hire Kareoke- but if you use both well- you are out?

I always enjoyed my friend's story of one of his co-workers who, at the X-Mas party, stripped off his shirt, jumped up on a table, started dancing, jumped down and decked his boss. Nothing will get you fired like a punch to your boss's face. Apparently at least one person each of the last three years has been fired due to incidents at the X-Mas party.
