Office employee refuses to wish management a “Merry Christmas” until they acknowledge a seniority-based Christmas bonus policy, requiring 5 years of employment to get company branded merch: 'I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness'
A $25M company wouldn't give its new employees even a lowly Christmas pizza party to celebrate the end of the year. Instead, they made workers wait until they had five years of seniority to rummage through the company's merchandise bucket. Thaaaanks…
Company loyalty is a rare thing these days. Because of that, when business do have loyal workers, they should be rewarding those tried-and-true hard workers with a little something to sweeten their employment deal, right? In an age where pensions, extended PTO benefits, and even a gold star from your boss is a rarity, the Christmas bonus is a fabled tradition of yore. So when this prospective employee first started working for a big company and noticed they still did bonuses, they were psyched! 18 months in, and after they were snubbed of their gift the first year, they didn't realize until now that the bonuses were only for employees working with the company for over 5 years.
Apparently, 5 years of loyalty was all that earned you a Merry Christmas in this office, so the worker initiated a tongue-in-cheek protest, refusing to wish management a happy holiday until after at least 5 years of work.
