    To be fair not all Christmas jumpers are merry.

    My kid has a Grinch one and I have a Nightmare before Christmas one.

    It was because they were either wearing them during difficult conversations (financial problems, bereavement) or having to remember to take the jumpers on and off. In case anyone wanted to skip reading the article and jump to the outrage

    What kind of Christmas jumpers though?

    Snow and reindeer aren’t exactly childish or immature

  4. >Branches have been told they are spaces where customers received support with financial difficulties and bereavements.

    Make sense to me, if its a customer facing role. Business as usual all year round.

    Bit of a non story then? Or, a cynical attempt at insinuating *something* else…

    Does wearing Christmas clothes make difficult conversations actually harder?

  6. Nice_Back_9977 on

    This makes perfect sense. There are lots of jobs where it’s better to just make a donation and not wear the jumper, including mine

  7. Jesus Christ, it’s a bank not a funeral directors. Why has everyone become so soft?

  8. What a bunch of hogwash from HSBC. Christmas jumper day is literally *one* day each year. It’s not like they wear them the entire month of December. I don’t buy the “difficult conversations” excuse for a minute. I bet it had something to do with certain customers taking offence to the idea of Christmas.

    Seem a strange argument as no other bank is having to resort to this.

    It’s a business setting, where people conduct serious business. Staff should dress like that.

    It sounds like the entitled kids in school who bleated throughout December “we shouldn’t have to do work, it’s Christmas” are now in the workplace.

    “Mr Bank Manager, on Christmas Eve, can we bring in games and not serve any customers?”

    What sort of fucknut complains about a Christmas jumper

  12. monclairee on

    Christmas jumpers shouldn’t have a place in corporate environments period. I go to these places for professional services, they ought to be professional.

    The only logical explanation is:
    If you show any dissatisfaction with anything to do with a regulated financial institution they have to log it. Literally if you say you don’t like the hold music, that’s a reportable complaint.

    Oh god the papers must be so excited to get to post this slop and hope to stoke the flames of division.
