We got our turkeys about a week before Christmas.
You are not wrong, you are mistaken.Am I wrong or did we not get Christmas turkeys not Thanksgiving turkeys?
And old....You are not wrong, you are mistaken.
I was respecting my elders....And old....
BOOM!I was respecting my elders....
You forgot senile....
And dementia....
One year I got 3 turkeys---and didn't feel one bit guilty
As you shouldn't. I mean that was 1930s and you were dealing with the great depression.
Actually it was about 1979 or so. After seeing the extra turkeys left in the building under the heater for the weekend and turning totally rotten (management had said they were going to give them to the food shelf but "forgot") I decide I would rescue the extras. Shortly after that they started coming with your name on them so everyone got one--no extras. .
And they got smaller each year ...We got our turkeys about a week before Christmas.
To tell you the truth, I don't miss that tradition too much. Came in during peak, took up a lot of room, then there was always a few that ended up rotting outside the mechanics shop door when spring came. I get much more joy complaining now about them stopping doing it.I’ll second the turkeys. Not the voucher for a turkey but an actual turkey handed to me by a member of my management team. This company has changed a lot since I’ve been here. It goes a long way towards labor management relations when you sit down for a meal with family and your employer literally supplied a large meal to your family. Really make an impression on me as a part timer struggling to put food on the table. It also made a bigger impression when Ups stopped this practice
