It helps that Amit doesn't celebrate Christmas and needs holidays.
- rvnx 5y agoDon't ever mention Christmas in a professional setting. One day I got invited for interview at a famous SV company who has offices in Europe, in a snowy and catholic country. It was the end of the year, so on the way out, with a good mood I said "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" to the people I just met. Later on, the recruiter explained to me that the team felt offended that I used the word "Christmas" (but still got an offer).
- azinman2 5y agoSeems a bit extreme to be literally offended, and I’m not even Christian.
- blinding-streak 5y agoIs it surprising to you that not everyone celebrates Christmas?
- dylan604 5y agoWhy is it that those that don't get so offended when someone wishes them good tidings from their practices?
- alangibson 5y agoWhat's surprising is that you can't expect people to be charitable in their interpretations and take things in the spirit it is meant. I make Marx look like a Bible beater, but I wont take offense at someone wishing me Merry Christmas. Or Eid, Diwali, Purim, or anything else for that matter.
