They're arranging a Christmas night out in December at work. The email reads 'management want to thank us for our hard work this year', but we're to pay £35 for this 'thank you' ourselves.  They're not paying.  I can't afford £35 this Christmas, plus the venue is far from where I live.  It's also on a night I don't work; so I'd have to travel in on my day off.  I don't want to go. How can I get them to accept I pure and simply don't want to go? I only like my own friends to socialise with and I never socialise with people from work. Guy in the office doesn't seem to understand 'no' and is pushy.

So long as you remember the lie when asked how it went the next day 😁

At least you know beforehand, we were invited to a Christmas lunch and afterwards the company secretary visited every table and demanded the cost of the meal.

Just tell them you're busy, dusting your iceberg.

Id be honest and just say you need all the money you can this year

Explain you have an important prior family commitment , give no further explanation merely state that you hope everyone else has a wonderful time . 

Thank you for organising the Christmas night out. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend but I wish you all a very enjoyable evening. Happy Christmas.
