New York, NY – After reviewing the holiday OOO plans, senior manager Chris Liotta did a double take after realizing associate Josh Becker was taking no time off for Hanukah this Christmas. “I really worry about him,” said the 52 year old VP, “I know Josh has been working around the clock recently but this is extreme.” While he is not allowed to probe religious matters with his employees, Liotta, a self-described ‘extreme empath,’ has been finding creative ways to encourage his report to take the time off for the Jewish holiday–including what he calls a “festival of lights.” The manager was last seen flicking the overhead fluorescents on and off before leaving the office, making sure to say that he understands if anyone needs to “avoid digital technology” during this time of the year and sign off completely.
“I don’t think Chris knows what Hanukkah is, or that it was weeks ago,” reports Becker, “but it’s nice that he started paying me overtime this week.”
