I expected the food options to have some sort of Christmas theme to it, but all it is are fancy dishes from high end restaurants with prices ranging from reasonable to exorbitant, and slapping “Christmas” on the front. That’s literally it!
What purpose does it serve?

I get some people don’t like certain foods for some reason, but that don’t give them the right to throw away my seasonings (seasonings I can no longer acquire) just so I can’t cook it.

I was worried the parent companies OK'd this. Knowing they didn't – and that Amazon acted without their approval – is comforting, and also makes me think Amazon got chewed the fuck out.
Honestly, I hope they start losing licenses over this.

I’m half Japanese, in my 40s and living in America…and I feel guilty about taking leave on the count that I am the only person in my current position and no one else is trained to cover for me. In other words, work pile up and upon my return, I have to do xx days amount of work in 1 day. Ugh…
In a 2023 survey conducted by Job Soken and Nikkei, 44.03% of Japanese people in their 20s said they feel guilty about taking leave. Many cited reasons such as “causing trouble for coworkers” or “because others are still working.”
