Does the Christmas cruelty know no end around the offices of Wenner Media? Just when US Weekly Min-ions© thought they could look forward to tonight's holiday party with fellow Wenner-ites at Irving Plaza, word is allegedly trickling down from the top of the ladder that a massive scheduling fuck-up has an issue suddenly closing on Friday. As such, execs are reportedly saying that the US serfs may not be able to enjoy their God-given right to a company sloshfest with the musical stylings of Maroon 5. And, to make matters worse, we're also hearing the employees are being held hostage with wrap sandwiches and other assorted deli delights!

We've got to wonder what sort of scheduling error could be so great as to prevent employees from hitting the free drinks; we're looking for further information, so do drop us a line. We just might have to organize a candlelight vigil tonight until the editor Janice Min emancipates her peons.
