I have sadly had the unfortunate occurrence of two separate companies I've worked for just completely cancel the holiday bonus. I thought it was a fluke the first time but it is a trend when private equity buys the company you work for.

I don't work at those places anymore. They can suck a yule log.

Didn't someone do the math and determine that, adjusted for inflation, Bob Cratchett was making like $20 / hour, which was so sinfully miserly that God sent spirits to intervene?

From my Christmas 2020 sentiments: This year, Ignorance and Want are not mere wastrel wretches clinging to the ankles of a Christmas spirit,^†^ rather they are massive kaiju, towering over us all, with a fell, desiccating breath and a petrifying gaze brought fully to bare. And as I write they thunder across the countryside razing human civilization like Godzilla leveling Tokyo.
