Christmas work parties can be enough to inadvertently give yourself a gnarly headache the next day, or even leave you cuddling the toilet all night - which leads to massive amounts of regret.

‘I’m never drinking again,’ is probably circling around your head as soon as you wake up, particularly when memories of the night’s events begin to trickle through.

However, if the HR department is contacting you regarding the party, you know you’ve done a lot more than the worm in the middle of the dancefloor- you’ve massively overstepped the professional boundaries.

This is unfortunately what happened to one bloke while he was barely surviving a raging hangover.

It was only after he refreshed his emails, he found that his work wanted a stern word following the annual festive do.

That’s enough to make you want to pull a sickie, isn’t it?

The fact he's a 'career educator' and a bit of a job expert only adds fuel to the fire, as you'd expect Paddy Jobsman to have his office Christmas party etiquette down pat.

But the booze can get the best of any of us - even if you are well known for offering employment advice.

Paddy shared a TikTok explaining he had been called in for a serious telling off due to his antics at the bash with his colleagues alongside the caption: "I’ve got a wife and kids; you can’t do this."

The email read: "I am contacting you from the HR department regarding reports of your behaviour at our recent Christmas party. These reports are concerning and require an immediate discussion.

"Please attend a mandatory meeting on Monday at 9am in the office. This meeting is to address the behaviour in question and its implication under our company policy.

"It is crucial that you attend this meeting. Failure to not comply may result in further action."

His post obviously prompted a lot of other people to weigh in and share their stories of being worse for wear at the work's bash, as well as opening the floodgates for all kinds of speculation about what he had done.

One said: "This literally just happened to me last weekend at my work's Christmas party. I got blinddd."

Another joked: "Your HR person is named KAREN?! Lmao you're cooked brother."

And a third added: "Tell us what you did Pat!"

The bloke has opted to keep the details of his drunken discrepancy off social media, but he did provide an update on the outcome of his meeting a few days later.

In another video, Paddy shared a screenshot of a follow-up email he had received in wake of his sit-down with HR.

It read: "Following our meeting concerning your behaviour at the Christmas party, we have decided to issue a written warning. This warning will be kept on your personnel record."

Although his card is now marked in the workplace, Paddy seemed pretty pleased with the result and jubilantly captioned the clip: "Made it out alive!"

His followers were thrilled that he has lived to see another day and congratulated him in the comments.

One said: "Man if you're still on the payroll after the Christmas party you did good."

Another wrote: "Karen Jones is the most HR worker name I’ve ever heard!"

And a third chimed in: "First and last Christmas party."
