I read this hysterically funny and also desperately sad Reddit post the other day. An invitation to a work party came to the Original Poster (OP) from HR at his company. The invitation was to a fancy dress party at an old Alabama cotton plantation, and required 'period-appropriate' dress.
OP said that he is the only black person at his workplace and is often forgotten about. He must have been forgotten about when the invitation was sent out because who could be that stupid???
So he went as a slave...
The result was that the HR person who organised the party was fired, OP got a big promotion and a huge raise in salary, and the party was cancelled soon after it started.
Wife and I are attending a "period appropriate" work Halloween costume party, on an old plantation in Alabama. There aren't many options for someone like me...
"In the end, the boss cancelled the party, and the CEO, who was supposed to be at the party, never showed up. The reason they gave for cancelling the party was "inclement weather," and, while it DID rain, and the party WAS supposed to be outside, the location had more than enough space inside for there to be some sort of contingency plan. It's also a bit odd that the CEO cancelled, as far as I know, he isn't allergic to rain."
"I am the only black employee, and I am often forgotten about. The moment I saw the theme of the party, I realized I had once again been overlooked... I'm thinking this may be the last time that happens, lol"
