In an unprecedented move, a company based in New York saw its entire workforce resign simultaneously after the CEO reportedly canceled Christmas bonuses, echoing the infamous scene from *Christmas Vacation* where Clark Griswold confronts his boss. The bold action by the employees has left the company in disarray, with some suggesting the CEO’s holiday season just took a turn for the worse.
The tale was first shared on TikTok by a man who detailed the explosive fallout following the CEO’s decision. “The New York CEO who had his Lamborghini pooped in by his employees after he canceled their Christmas bonuses has just learned that every single employee, from the sales team to the shipping department, has resigned,” the man reported, sharing the story with his followers.
As the narrative unfolded, it became clear that the employees were united in their frustration. “They’re sticking together, pooling their savings, and are planning to start a new company without the ‘D-bag’ at the top,” he added. While a few employees found new jobs, the bulk of the team was determined to launch a competitor that would leave their former boss high and dry.
The story doesn’t end there. The ex-employees reportedly blocked the CEO’s attempts to fill the suddenly vacated positions by flooding job postings with fake resumes, “mostly AI-generated,” designed to waste the CEO’s time and prevent him from quickly recovering. “The CEO is in panic mode,” the TikTok user said. “He’s trying to fill these vacancies, but all he’s getting are these bogus applications.”
To make matters worse for the CEO, the disgruntled sales staff are confident they can lure clients away from the old company, effectively crippling the business’s revenue stream. According to the post, this would leave the CEO with no choice but to sell his prized Lamborghini, “though no one really knows what the resale market is for a poop-in Lamborghini.”
While the post sparked plenty of online support for the employees, some users expressed skepticism, questioning the authenticity of the story. “You’re telling me they don’t have non-compete clauses or legal agreements that would prevent them from doing exactly what you’re describing? That’s BS,” one commenter said, pointing out the potential legal hurdles to such a mass exodus.
Others chimed in with anger over what they see as corporate greed, drawing parallels to their own experiences in the workforce. “Imagine your company being bought out by a man who boasts about having more cash than anyone, then having your measly $2,000 bonus cut down,” one user wrote. “I make a company millions every month, and I get less than $100 as a bonus. Corporate greed is beyond foul.”
One comment even philosophized on the nature of work and money: “Corporations are nothing without their people. Governments are nothing without their people. Time is the only currency that matters. Money is just a physical representation of time.”
Whether the story is true or just a viral social media stunt, it highlights the growing frustration with corporate behavior and the power of collective action. If the employees’ tale is to be believed, it sends a strong message to CEOs: when you mess with the holiday bonuses, you might just find yourself left with nothing but an expensive car and a lot of regret.
