Back in 2000, financial publisher Bloomberg reportedly blew £1 million (£1,472,625 or $1,785,672 in today's money) on an office party with a "seven deadly sins" theme for its 1,500 British employees.
As well as a "lust room" containing a 25-foot-wide bed of purple satin, the event boasted ten bars – one, themed "gluttony," with a trough of truffles and sweets.
While not every company is willing to go to these lengths, many are organizing events to show appreciation for their workers, boost morale, and encourage team building. Especially during the festive season.
