Top 10 hilarious Christmas workplace stories revealed

Top 10 hilarious Christmas workplace stories revealed

Although everyone is on a bit of a jolly at this time, Gemma, a Marketing Executive from Liverpool said her CEO bought their Project Manager a ‘Project Management for Dummies’ book as a secret Santa gift. Unfortunately, she didn’t see the funny side, and actually left the room crying.

More and more organisations are embracing ‘Christmas Jumper Day’, but Liam, a warehouse worker from Bristol said one employee got the date wrong and turned up wearing his best, most outrageous Christmas jumper equipped with 3D baubles a day too early – bless him.

We’d all love our boss to become Santa during Christmas, and he did for Sue, an IT Manager from Cardiff. She said her MD (who was dressed as Santa) was clearly in the Christmas spirit (and also very drunk) and gave away £100 to every employee at the office party.

Rachel, a store manager from Durham, noted a construction issue which resulted in the store’s Christmas grotto collapsing on Santa and all of his presents - luckily there were no children inside.
