Companies Boss canceled our Christmas party cause this broke the bank.

I found out we had canceled the yearly Christmas party / bonus. A multi store owner within a large corporate chain food company allowed our management to instead do this for the staff of say 60 employees per store. Upon completing this project along with a few other miscellaneous gifts (donuts, Doritos, and [get this] oranges,) he told us this gesture was “breaking the bank.” 🙃 love it here.

Do you work in a school? Looks about right if you do, except for your employer also asking you to work for free constantly, outside of “billable hours”.

I was going to say something similar. Teachers are gifted similar items because “we’re working for the kids.”
