Drunk on Sat, Fired on Monday
Ever wonder how a Christmas party can turn into a career‑ending fiasco? Meet our hero: a man who thought “holidays” meant “holidays for a hangover.” He strutted into the office Christmas bash, glass in hand, and decided the only thing missing was a personal “I Love You” tour for everyone—single, married, or in a questionable relationship with his own reflection.
He waltzed from table to table, proclaiming his affection with a flourish of arm‑and‑back rubs that would make a masseuse blush. “I love you!” he’d chirp, rubbing a woman’s back, then a married woman’s hand, then the woman’s husband’s arm—because apparently, nothing says “season’s greetings” like unsolicited caresses. He even tried to “hold hands” with anyone who’d look at him the right way (and, honestly, he probably thought his job was safe because he’d been there 10 years).
By the end of the night, the office had a new, very intoxicated “friend” who had somehow convinced himself that he was a holiday Santa for everyone. The next Monday? He was gone. HR, ever the party pooper, called it a Career Limiting Decision (or as the office whispered, a Career Limiting Move—CLM for short). The only thing he left behind was a pile of sticky notes and a new office legend.
Comments
- lol, he made a CLD that day
Career Limiting Decision - He had been there over 10 years.
- Dang! One would have thought he was wizened.
- How did he conduct himself at the previous 9 parties?
- I've also heard it called a CLM (pronounced “clem”), a Career Limiting Move.
TL;DR: He brought the holiday spirit in a bottle, left it on the dance floor, and got the ultimate holiday bonus—fired. 🎄🍻🚫
