No Pokemon, No Beer, And No Company Christmas Parties

The Edge weighs in on these topics:

People stuff shoe boxes with toys and presents for needy kids around the world for Franklin Graham’s charity called “Operation Christmas Child.” But now, workers are being instructed to remove Harry Potter and Pokemon toys over fears that they will “interfere with the ministry to share the love of Christ.”

Queen City Q says they will no longer carry beers associated with Anheuser-Busch because of the company’s new “incentives plan” that pays restaurants and bars to carry fewer products from other beer manufacturers.

A new survey says nearly 20% of companies will not host a Christmas party this year. That’s up from 10% last year. The reason? Inconvenient scheduling, lack of attendance, and misbehaving co-workers.
