The pendulum swings the other way now.
There goes my reason for working abroad:
"I know this will be a disappointing message for some of you but after many conversations with HQ I have decided NOT to organize an EMEA wide Christmas event like we have done in the past years. Our group is becoming too big and costs for an event like we have done in the past years are not justifiable anymore."
Meh. I'm down now.

I guess without everyone being in a central location, like they are here, the costs could get way out of hand really quickly.
That is what they get for using our money to hire third party graphics design companies anyway :)
Yeah - Chaz had a feeling that would happen now that we're a public company & there's more attention to the bottom line.
