Some companies penny-pinch too much.

This woman is new at a big company, but they only give out Christmas hampers to employees of five years or more. So she decided to delay her festive spirit for five years.

No Christmas for 5 years..

At the place I work, you have to have been at the company for five years before receiving a Christmas hamper. The hamper is mainly the company’s own products, so nothing too extravagant.

I believe five years is too long. I would probably feel differently if it were a bigger gift, like a monetary bonus or something.

So, because of this, I refuse to wish higher management “Merry Christmas” or any Christmas wishes for five years.

This woman started getting petty at work.

One of the operations managers wished me Happy Christmas last year, and I didn’t reply with the normal, “You too.”

This was actually harder than I thought it would be, as I am British and extremely polite.

He commented something along the lines of, “Do I not get a ‘Merry Christmas’?” So I replied that he would have to be my boss for five years before I wished him a happy Christmas.

He told me that was a bit petty. I’m wondering if it is petty, or if I’m just pointing out the ridiculousness.

Way to stick it to the big guy.

Other people in the comments section are piping up.

This one is chiming in.

And a hilarious but appropriate response.

New employees deserve a happy Christmas, too.
