If you are a manager how do you handle sending a Christmas message. I want to include John 3:16 but don’t want someone to get offended and cause me to deal with HR. Thoughts?

I personally don't think its a great idea to include regilious messages in company communications. There so many ways to be a Christian in the work place than this.

Yea, I would say just say happy holidays to be inclusive and instead show them how God is present in your life through your daily actions. You can post that merry Christmas message on here though! 😊

TBH I don’t think you can in this day and age, unfortunately. As nice a sentiment as it is.

Though I was proud of one of my seniors the other day—he actually said “Merry Christmas” to one of our clients. As the saying goes, the kids are gonna be just fine.

Inappropriate.

There are Jews and Hindus on my team. None of them celebrate Christmas…but none of them wished me a Happy Hanukkah or Happy Diwali even though I knew they were celebrating those holidays. I wouldn’t have been offended or run to HR, but I still would have thought it was odd.

I don’t think keeping work communications agnostic makes us any less Christian. We’re there to get a job done, not evangelize. If you find individual opportunities to share your faith, then great…but not in mass communications.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)
