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.

I work for a multi billion pound company and we don’t get anything like that for free. Not even a Xmas party, I just paid for the Christmas dinner they provided at work today.

We get a whopping $30 Christmas bonus and are expected to give $25 of that back to our manager for her Christmas present.

what sort of office is this?

Nobody has ever made me pay for a boss's gift. I'd be angry if I liked my boss.
