You are not required but it is implied that you go. If you want to go somewhere in the company, you must attend. If you are not planning on being there long term, then by all means dont go. The only way to get out of it is if you are going to be out of state, it is true, and your boss knew about it a long time ago.

i could in simple terms tell your boss that using religious motives (you sound like possibly you're Jehovah's Witness) which you are going to be no longer able to attend an style of trip occasion. in the event that they attempt to fire you over it flow to the hard work board and record a criticism. on the different hand whether it extremely is in simple terms that your loved ones would not have fun the wintry climate holidays, then i elect to advise you flow to instruct "organization spirit" and all that jazz. i could although ask to emoted form the present substitute using loss of hours to pay for reported present. good success!!! playstation If it gets extremely nasty, threaten to call the ACLU.

It depends on the company. If you belong to a small company then your absence will likely be noted, and that isn't a good thing. If the party is for 500 or more people, you can always claim a prior commitment, and it won't be that big a deal.

It really depends on the culture of your office.
At my first workplace, it was totally relaxed and optional.
At my friend's new job, it's not only optional, nobody is allowed to go but the lawyers at the office.
If you have a legitimate reason not to go, it's acceptable to skip out. For instance, we had some people who were not Christians, and they felt uncomfortable participating in the party. We had people who did not drink alcohol for religious reasons - they were quite fine to skip out on our 'Winter cocktail party.' One person was on holiday.
But if you're just skipping out because you're tired, reconsider. The company parties aren't to have fun, they're often a way for bosses to meet promising lower-ranked hires.

As far as I know, no, we aren't. But I just happen to be working that day so I will be attending. We are exchanging our gifts that day. I don't know if those who are off that day will come or not.

I don't think it's to celebrate the holiday. It's to celebrate the birth of Christ. I think you might have your priorities wrong somewhere...

no you go to a bar and get drunk or high and you forget the whole thing. thus if you forget that is your excuse for not attending

You don't have to go, but you could know your boss and co-workers better, if you go...
