And bah humbug to you too... How do you estimate the contribution of
parties to the wellbeing and happiness of a workforce though, that is the
question.

so you think 4 million is fine? companies I worked for all the
employees paid for our own parties, companies kicked in some gifts or
low cost trinkets. may have paid for hall for event.
nice that in the government everyone pays.........
when you take this 4 million add it to all the governmment parties
worldwide the final number must be in the billions, while bridges
collapse, and $$$ big bucks are wasted ............

Actually Bob there were lots of company sponsored parties, just for some
strange reason you were never invited. Wonder why?

the company I worked for had a annual picnic, and a annual christmas
party.
proceeds from the vending machines, and the workers paid for the
events.
company did give us a turkey each christmas.
it was a good place to work with nearly unlimited sick time at full
pay as long as you didnt abuse it, flexible work hours provided the
job got done. I tended to start early finish early and occasionally
did some far away jobs where the customer opened at 7am. I would leave
at 4 AM, arrive by 7 after a quick breakfast work till 5 or 6 pm when
they closed then drive home.
made for long day did 2 days worth of work in one, saved travel time
and costs.
rewarded with save hours for time off of my choosing. only downside no
overtime.
my boss got sick one time was off a month, i accumulated time like
crazy that summer worked 3 day weeks:)

I worked for a company like that once. One of the most content and
happy jobs I've ever had. Would love to find another like it.

Wrong. This are not "parties" but events to honor workers who did
something to enhance safety

Right. It's the Space Flight Awareness events. There was a thread on
this in s.s.history about a month ago. It is an award that is given to a
small percentage of the workforce. By my estimate, these events cost
NASA around $1300 per honoree. That is not out of line for a performance
bonus, either in government or the private sector.
