Our new way to search for purposeful work

Issue 822, Mon 1 December, 2025

Dear Escapees,

Office Christmas party season is upon us. A time of warm prosecco, chaotic karaoke and at least one colleague revealing a very different personality after 9pm.

For some, it’s the highlight of the year. For others, the thought of spending an evening talking about Q4 by the mini sausage rolls is… a lot.

But here’s the simple truth: how you feel about the Christmas party usually says more about the job than the party. If you like your team, even the awkward bits are fine. If you don’t… suddenly “I might just head off early” becomes your personal mantra.

So if this year’s invite fills you with dread rather than joy, maybe it’s a gentle hint to find your people in 2026 - the ones you’d actually choose to spend time with outside office hours. And if that sounds good, this week’s Top 10 is a solid place to start.

Happy Escaping,

Team Escape
