I have quite enough holiday obligations with my family, screw those assholes at work. I have family assholes to deal with. Quit moving across the country to get away from yours and you wont need your secret santas to coddle you. Yeah, I'm a fucking asshole. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76100954 You may think it's bullshit, which is fine, but it's not causing you "anxiety" or making you dip into your savings so you don't lose face. I can understand Secret Santa might be a pain but it's not a one of life's "triggers". Amen Triggered by it vs not liking it are two different things ..."dipping into savings or overdrafting their accounts"... For FIFTEEN DOLLARS??? Good Grief. For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible. (Stuart Chase) It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

Quoting: ~kpm~ A study found that Secret Santa gift exchanges trigger anxiety in many millennials. Dr. Ashley Weinberg, a psychology lecturer at the University of Salford in Manchester, claimed the holiday gift swap triggers anxiety in those who overspend because they don’t want to appear "stingy." The study from Jobsite found that 26% of millennials admitted to dipping into savings or overdrafting their accounts to fund an office gift. Around 17% reported that they “felt judged” by their co-workers based on the gift they chose to contribute. In total, 78% of millennials felt they contributed “more than they should” to an office party gift compared to 58% of the rest of the workforce.

Coddled to the point of not being able to function We need to bring back duels, jousting, and fencing. |

Or just get a bottle of wine or scotch for 20-30$. I am technically a millennial and just don't understand what the hell is wrong with these fragile souls.
