Update: 'Her boss does this every year': Boss makes workers fight over a piñata filled with money at the Christmas Party

Why does it feel like this is giving Squid Game? This boss decided that it was a good idea to have his employees fight over a piñata filled with money at the office Christmas party year after year. You would think given recent cultural conversations about toxic work environments that perhaps this dude would rethink this annual practice, but nope! This year, he decided to do it yet again.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/schotte420, whose girlfriend worked at this messy company. She informed OP ahead of the Holiday Party that the grand finale of the evening would be this competitive piñata competition and that he would be expected to participate. OP raised plenty of questions and concerns about this, but his girlfriend seemed to take offense to his skepticism as if it were an insult to her. Perhaps she was so attached/brainwashed by her boss and by the work culture that she was unable to see this dude for who he was. Yikes!
