Our holiday trees can no longer be displayed prominently. They must be in a dark corner of the building where no one can see them.
And it is happy holidays, not merry Christmas..... That's because you work for a company, not a bank. :ducks:

They're poisonous if you eat them, I believe. If you have an issue with people eating your shrubbery, you may have bigger problems to address! You haven't seen some of the awful acting children we have around here. Has me wondering what happened to the teller who would eat white out.... If you remember that, you have been here for a LONG time.... Guilty (of remembering the "The PICA-eating teller" thread, not being that teller)

Our tree is very traditional at the Main Office. Our company color is "green" so allthe ornaments are green, white or gold with white lights and gold beaded garland and ribbon.It is a pretty tree but we aren't winning any decorating contest with it. The one thing that I do honestly HATE about it is the stupid angel on the top if the tree. I think she is supposed to be signing so her mouth is open into an O shape. However the tree nearly touches the ceiling and they wedge the poor angel between the top of the tree & the ceiling - She is always sligtly pitched forward and "O-ing" .... it always strikes me as somehow inappropriate

And it is happy holidays, not merry Christmas..... They have not tried that on us. Prolly wont. Family owned bank and the owner is a devout Christian. We say Merry Christmas to everyone. His concept is if you dont like, bank somewhere else. Yay for your owner - there needs to be more like that.

I think I remember reading that she was promoted to a compliance position in upstate New York somewhere. I think Aggs is friends with her.... Branching out, eh?

My thought was that perhaps she felt she was falling and was therefore shouting "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo". I cannot vouch for Dip's mindset.

When I was managing branches, I dumped the trees... with limted staff and no one willing to do it after hours on their time, nor anyone willing to volunteer to take it all down, I just had the branch flooded in poinsettias.
Quick and easy to place and style, even quicker to clean up. ^^^^^^^Grinch..... You solve that problem with a couple of six packs (or boxes of wine depending on the level of sophistication) and a couple of pizzas - all the sudden everyone is freaking Martha Stewartâ„¢. My branch had the "I've been decorated by drunken elves" theme going on.... Sounds like the same solution used to solve moving furniture, painting (save the beer for after you're done, trust me), etc.!

it's a giant fake PINK tree maybe it is breast cancer awareness tree You cheated and saw my FB post? Apparently, it IS for breast cancer awareness, btu totally FAILED. Wrong month and the tree, aside from being pink, has ntohign to do with breast cancer. They SHOULD have done a normal tree decorated in pink, silver, and red with pink ribbons tied on it. then had a table to the side with pernmanent marker and pink robbons so you can write the name of someone you knwo with breast cnacer or survivor and tie them on the tree. I mean, woudln't THAT make more sense???

umm, no, i'm a man and used common sense. Maybe you can volunteer to put up and decorate the tree in future years since this is causing you so much stress. How can I tell you're stressed? Cause every word you typed has no transpositions!!!!! Ha! I said I woudl except this management company pays other companies for their gaudy trees But good for you for figuring it out. None of us did and they finally had to put otu flyers sayign why the tree is ugly pink.
