“GET INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT, MELISSA!”
Melissa Wisteria, 32, is determined to reduce unnecessary consumerism this Christmas. She suggested her office forgo their annual Kris Kringle and donate to charity instead. The team at GRM Investment Solutions were not enthusiastic about the proposal. Melissa has been labelled a Grinch and told her leftie politics have no place at Christmas.
Melissa said, “It’s wasteful. The only things you can get for the $10 limit are crappy novelty gifts. Last year I got a stress ball in the shape of the poo emoji.”
Melissa has received a formal written warning from management stating that if she is unable to get into the Christmas spirit, she should find employment elsewhere.
“She’s a commie,” HR Manager Amal Hassan said, “We are all for free expression, but Melissa’s communist views are dangerous and we can’t have her radicalising the team.”
Despite sending a persuasive all staff email that reminded the good that the Marine Conservation Society could do with a donation, Melissa has been unable to gain support. Her team are thrilled that the Kris Kringle will be in place for another year.
Amal said, “The Kris Kringle is one of the company’s annual highlights. Last year, I gave someone a poo emoji stress ball. So funny!”
