What are your thoughts on company holiday parties?

Parties are fine, as long as attendance is invited but not required. That way people who like them can attend, and people who do not can stay home.

Very broad question.. company events are good for morale. You spend most of your days with your coworkers… it’s nice to have an opportunity to kick back and relax with them on the company’s dime. My employer is doing the party during office hours.

everybody but the one who proposed it wants to go home...except those who have a good excuse and are not there for starters...who in their right mind thinks co-workers are a good match for having fun, partying?
