I just realized that this photo was taken December 24, 1925, just before the swaggering big bald boss tossed his cigar butt, which hit the tree and ignited it. The immediate conflagration killed everyone in the room and spread into the factory floor.
"The Western Electric Christmas Party of 1925." The photographer had just walked out when the tragedy occurred, preserving this eerie moment of lost possibility and impending searing pain and anguish.

I would make ends meet as a student working temp jobs in NYC and Boston. I worked a lot for one agency who would make a "grand gesture" with a pitiable joyless office party for temps, which didn't make any sense because we didn't know each other. Furthermore, it was a good idea to attend and be nicey nicey because then you'd get the bookings when you needed them. Cherry on the fruit cake, they would offer all temps a wrapped "present" which was a worthless piece of Chinese junk. Meanwhile these agencies' standard cut was 50% up to 75% of the fee paid by the corporation for the temp. The bank or law firm would be billed $45 an hour and I'd get $15. Capitalism!

In a previous year (please don't ask :), in one of the Shorpy threads, someone actually traveled to the location of the photo.

R129 I am sure he is ready to go. He probably has a frigid wife at home who definitely doesn't want more than the six kids they already have running about. He's probably forced to beat off into a gym sock in some dark, cold corner of the basement to naughty black & white photos he picked up in France seven years prior during the war illuminated only by the stub of his lit Lucky Strike. Huffing and puffing, zipper down, belt clanking, he grunts out a load. He wrings the sock out in the rusty basement wash basin and tosses it over a pipe to dry while securely placing the well-worn envelop, with "ooh la la" stamped on the front, that holds his pics back in its hiding spot between some old bricks. Disguising his still swollen junk, he tucks it under the waistband of his boxers, slouches back up the steps to his screaming kids, harried wife and boiled meat dinner.

That has been discussed ad nauseam for years - she hates Svetlana (#26) with a white hot passion because she (#28) believes Svetlana is the office slut. Deep down, she’s a little bit jealous.

Fascinating photos, there's so much going on. As another poster said, I'm surprised that nobody has ever come forward and identified a grandparent or great-grandparent in this photo.
A few of the younger people in this photo could've lived as long as the 1990s.

R17 seems like a light skinned Black woman. Is it possible that Black people would be working in an office in the 1920s in the then very Southern city of Washington DC or could she be passing?

6 is a pleasant southern man, hung large. Not too bright but everyone loves him. Good family. Naturally bisexual and never really thought about it in his youth. Fucked all races and creeds. Nobody brought it up. Nobody would ever even think it possible.
Calmed down a lot now, in the city, with his pretty wife. They live off daddy's money, not his modest income.

The reason 28 hates Sevtlana so much is that she just learned from one of the other gals that Svetlana, a recent immigrant with bad English, somehow lives in a house with running hot water, something 28’s family has yet to achieve.

41 and 42 have a lovely little cottage on Fire Island that they run off to on weekends. 42 has an enormous schlong that 41 likes to jump on, and which slutty 30 Good Time Girl would like a piece of too, but she has the wrong equipment. However, she still drops by his desk to say hello and look at his crotch. 47 looks "special". 35 is bitter because he can't afford a suit coat as he lost it at the track. 24 likes to sit with the gals to discuss the latest movies and how fabulous Gloria Swanson is. 19 is having her "monthly visitor" and is angry that she had to plug it up with toilet paper. 12 is trying to cop a feel of 20's booby but 20 only has eyes for 27 who is recovering from a massive hangover from some bad bathtub gin served by Muzzy Von Hossmere at her fabulous Long Island estate. 27 was brought in as "entertainment" for the New York Yankees teammates who were invited at the last moment. Nobody likes 33 so they won't let him be seen. 32 wants to take that horse figure and shove it up the fat ass of 37 who stiffed 32 on his Christmas bonus. Swetlana at 26 is waiting for her next opium fix tonight.
