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?
wtf is diwali?
Major holiday celebrated by hindus, some sikhs, buddhists, generally south Asians. It all makes perfect sense if you know anything about the IT field.
Not a big fan of the culture or region or customs but really this is one of the least offensive things about their culture. If you're not of the faith, it's an excuse for colorful festivities and food and stuff. Kinda overrated but just... whatevs. Some hypersocialized status seekers may come at you for cultural appropriation depending on your complexion, however. It's probably a lot safer for you to perform "Irishness" (wearing green) on St. Patty's
It's that Indian holiday where they throw the colors at each other
