Exclusive New year. Play for 6-7 people. Nikolay Lakutin

Director walks through the office like a boss.

      ANATOLY STEPANOVICH (in a businesslike tone): What are your suggestions, colleagues, for the future misfortune?

      YANA (quickly, confidently): I'll take a sick day! I'll buy a certificate, I don't know, go to another part of the world for the funeral of some distant relative, find the seventh water on jelly for such an occasion. In the end, all people are brothers, surely someone will end up somehow even remotely and very mediocre related to our relatives. I do not know what I will do, I will give birth in two weeks, although I did not plan, I will fall into a coma, or at least I will die myself! Be that as it may, any of these options will be cheaper and easier than raking out the consequences of a corporate event!

      ANATOLY STEPANOVICH (in a businesslike tone): Speaking of attempts to circumvent our bright holiday, the

      Team is on alert.

      ANATOLY STEPANOVICH (in a businesslike tone): In order to avoid aggravating the trick, the Board of founders provided for certain measures in this case. Namely. Payment of the bonus part, which is also black bookkeeping, which, as you know, is about 70% of the total salary. It will be carried out only after the event and only to those present at it. The rest will be paid only the official rate and then dismissed under article 81 of the labor code "non-Performance of labor duties".

      The team begins to howl, hum, resent.

      ANATOLY STEPANOVICH (in a businesslike tone): So I suggest that we focus on constructive proposals. Come on, Irina Olegovna, you're no stranger to dealing with difficult situations. What do you think about this?

      IRINA OLEGOVNA (carefully): Anatoly Stepanovich, I, of course, can settle many issues, but not on a universal scale?

      ANATOLY STEPANOVICH (in a businesslike tone): What to do? One way or another, no one else will solve this problem. So, your offer for the event!

      IRINA OLEGOVNA (cheerfully): Well, if the situation is hopeless – then I suggest that it at least be taken under strict control, so to speak, in a "tight grip", in order to minimize the General damage from the event.

      ANATOLY STEPANOVICH (with interest): Reasonable. What exactly do you suggest?

      IRINA OLEGOVNA (cautiously): Let's do something… closer to the people or something… As it is done in all civilized companies. The tables in the cafe, sat down and said, bit. We will invite only the heads of departments to the meeting, so to speak, we will note the top. We'll sit for two or three hours and disperse. Well, let the small fry decide the issue on their own, we will not be responsible for this. Costs are minimal. There are almost no risks. We will hold the event and we will all receive the award. This is my suggestion!

      The team cheerfully supports the Manager's proposal.

      ANATOLY STEPANOVICH (with taunt): Sabantuychik work?

      PETROVICH (approvingly): Well!

      ANATOLY STEPANOVICH (with a tease): Mezhdusoboychik so to speak?

      VIKTOR VASILYEVICH (approvingly): Of course! Excellent offer. I'M IN!

      Viktor Vasilyevich and the rest of the team raise their hands to vote.

      ANATOLY STEPANOVICH (with poddevka): Excellent offer. Simply magnificent. Why didn't I think of it? They're telling the truth: Everything brilliant is simple!
