gilanaFor the past 3 years, my office has celebrated Halloween. We decorate our cubes, wear costumes, bring in candy and go trick-or-treating around the office. I plan months ahead, gathering decorations and figuring out a work-friendly costume and buying candy.
We just moved onto a new floor, and I've been nudging my boss for a few weeks, asking if we were going to do it this year. Monday she finally said she had gotten the go-ahead. Yesterday she told me that it was off, that there was an issue of religious sensitivity, that we could get a cake, but no decorating, no candy, no costumes.
I'm *so* disappointed. And I'm so confused. I'm the last person to object when we're trying to be sensitive to people's religious issues -- but what's the issue? Somehow I really doubt that Gillette is trying to be respectful of pagans. All I can say is, they'd BETTER not do anything for Christmas after this.
