10. No one wants your name in the office gift exchange.


9. There are not enough white elephant gifts to go around.

8. The holiday music is now a boom box from the welding department.

7. On the day of your termination you buy your boss a gift from the company P-card.

6. Christmas lunch is one free item from the vending machine.

5. The company gift card is good only after the first of the year.

4. The supervisors wore Friday the 13th masks for the Ugly Sweater contest.

3. The printer is always out of paper due to resume printing.

2. Employees are singing "all I want for Christmas is my severance package".

1. The mistletoe was moved to the HR department with the note " kiss your butt goodbye."

Here's to a great 2011!
