I've worked here for 8 years and not once have I received a "Merry Christmas!" email. All company messaging around Christmas is watered down to "Happy Holidays" so as not to offend everyone.
I'm not a Christian fwiw but this pisses me off.
I quickly typed a response that said, "Thank you, and I look forward to receiving a Merry Christmas email later this year!", but at least for now I haven't sent it.
I'm just sick and fucking tired of everything Christian being erased from society, while non-Christian holidays are promoted and celebrated by name.
Send the email response or nah?
Zero chance I get fired for it. We have several acquisitions in the pipeline that I'm managing and trying to replace me right now would be a disaster.
But I'm leaning towards not saying anything, at least not right now. Like you said, it wouldn't really accomplish anything. They won't start wishing people Merry Christmas or anything.
Instead of saying something right now, start documenting things and look for a way to set them up for a lawsuit. Any kind of lawsuit. Then when it's time to leave, sue them on the way out, even if it's over some petty nonsense that has nothing to do with this.
