It’s office party season. Are you psyched, or do your holiday wishes include some green other than the Christmas tree propped up on the office printer? In a recent survey, 93% of workers said they’d happily drop the office party if it meant a little more money in their pockets.

Here’s the lowdown from Randstad:

According to the survey, holiday parties are generally viewed positively by employees; however, nearly all workers say they would be willing to give up the party if it meant more money in their own pockets. While roughly three quarters of workers feel that holiday parties help to build morale, more than nine out of ten employees (93 percent) would rather receive a bonus than have a holiday party this year.
