It's time to push back against the HR joy-assassins this festive season.

As a boss in 2022, it’s your duty to let your people off the chain and turn a blind eye to Xmas-idiot behaviour, unless it’s infringing on the good times of your other staff. Because they have fucking earned it these last few years. And because having your people physically together is a blessing for your business.

If your people have had a few too many and they're all standing on a table with linked arms singing Horses, that is a great sign for the future of your business.
