What if Hitler invented the BMW i3 Subcompact Electric car?
Seriously, WTF?

Both my husband and myself received anonymous "Valentine's day" gifts from our companies, there were constant intrusive questions across the office of what everyone was doing for Valentines day, single and coupled. I had to field a question from a coworker on a different campus that I work loosely with asking "So what are you doing for Valentines day!" who proceeded to tell me that he is just out of a three year relationship and heavily implied unwillingly. There were even HR safe but obvious questions across the office of who got laid on Valentine's day. Not to mention the work flowers and balloons and poo poo, who wants to deal with that?

How the gently caress is this a holiday celebrated corporately? Does anyone want this?

I agree with the OP that this is kind of hosed up: Valentine's day should celebrate romantic love between a man and a woman.

At least most companies have figured out the "holiday" language and not pitting the relationship status of employees against each other and then making the couples compete on who is in the "better" relationship.

Why, does your relationship not measure up?

Bitchin'!


When my now fiancee and I started dating we kept it secret at work for a month or so before someone guessed it was a thing. Our bosses decide to make us a card and have all the other staff sign it.

Did I mention we worked at a day care? Because they then went and told all the kids we were dating because apparently it was fun watching children heckle us about it.

When the kids told their parents we were dating though parents called to complain and we got pulled into the office and lectured about it. The kids wouldn't have known if the bosses hadn't told them but do you think they had our backs? Nah because :capitalism:

Just lol if you don't work for a company that in no way acknowledges any holiday besides the ones that they are federally mandated to let everyone take off.
