32 Totally Wild Things That Happened at a Workplace Holiday Party

Don’t be fooled — the company holiday party isn’t a gift. Yes, there’s usually an open bar, but your coworkers definitely don’t need to see the person you become after drinking four White Claws on an empty stomach.

A bunch of loose-lipped Redditors have recalled the most salacious things that went down at their workplace holiday events, including a guy who killed the vibes, a potluck layoff and a CEO who ended with three different letters attached to his name: DUI.
