Would you say the same if public sector workers were getting a paid Christmas party?
I don’t see the problem with any organisation paying for a Christmas party for their employees.Would you say the same if public sector workers were getting a paid Christmas party?
I'd have no objection to it. I can't stand the people who don't want to see anyone enjoy themselves. If we all stopped spending there would be no economy left (not a justification for massive unsustainable spending just a defence of some minor frivolous spending!)
Also, from my experience of working for a large organisation, meeting someone just once in a social setting improves the working relationship dramatically. Half the time when dealing with someone you don't really know you are wary as to whether they are time wasters or not. At least if you've had some social interaction you are less worried of causing offence if they turn into a pain!

Not at all
It's maybe fifty to seventy euro a head.
Small change compared to the annual payroll and does a lot to boost morale and keep people happy.
Could say the same about increments tbh
Money that could be directed elsewhere
So €21m* on christmas parties for the public service would be acceptable? As a public servant and a tax payer, I would not accept €21m being washed down the drain when it could be directed into providing important services instead.
* (€21m = 300,000 x €70)

free bar all night from 6PM till 2AM.
With that, I'd be happy with a kebab in a bus shelter
Sounds good. Move over on that seat there and what time is the next bus

My view is that if I have to pay then I might as well go with people I like.The difference in my case being we have to pay every penny ourselves.
And a €250 voucher.That's bad form. It's the one thing an employer is still allowed to give without BIK being charged.
