ABOUT THIS BLOG
Why a Pony? To be clear, there were no ponies harmed in the making of this blog. The blog’s name, “There Must Be a Pony In Here Somewhere,” comes from an old joke, a favorite of Ronald Reagan’s, that essentially means, with a pile of you-know-what this big, there MUST be a pony—a bright side—in here somewhere!

Despite all the recovery talk, companies are still cutting costs. For a lot of firms, that means no holiday party this year.

Officemax This is probably not the year to make a fool of yourself at the holiday party. |
The number of companies planning to have a holiday party this year dropped to 62 percent, according to a survey by outsourcing-consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. That's down from 77 percent last year and 90 percent two years ago.
If you're among the lucky ones to have a holiday party this year, a word to the wise: "For employees, now is not the time to draw attention to oneself with embarrassing conduct at the holiday party, particularly at a time when everyone's job is at risk of being downsized," advised John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
