Without identifying where I work, my employer has pretty much quashed any and all end-of-the year Holiday spirit. No holiday decorations on the exterior of the buildings, no holiday decorations in the workplace, no holiday luncheons or pot-lucks. And forget anything resembling a holiday bonus! There are not published guidelines prohibiting any of the above, they are just no longer encouraged in any manner.
What was the most festive (and fun) time of the year when I started my work career nearly 3 decades ago, has now become one of the most glum. It is as if the traditional holiday season, albeit with its religious overtones, has become an embarassment. Politically incorrect to acknowledge, and it flies in the face of the global cultural diversity message.
Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I the only one who works for a modern day Scrooge Inc?
