It’s Christmas Eve! What Are We...

Oops Careful What You Say
Harry was not only the boss, he was a serious practical joker, who was always playing embarrassing tricks on his staff.
Then came the day of the Office Christmas Dinner, which seemed like a good opportunity for everyone to pay him back.
Whilst Harry had gone to the toilet, someone took a look through his wallet, found his National Lottery tickets and noted the numbers on one of them.
Then, a waitress was persuaded to walk past Harry's table with a note containing the numbers of his ticket, asking if anyone was interested in knowing the winning numbers. (Which was almost everyone because it was a 'treble rollover'.)
Then she read out the numbers from the list she had been given, and then left the note on the table within Harry's reach.
Harry casually picked up the note, then slowly took out his wallet and compared his tickets with the information he had just received.
He suddenly went very quiet and returned the wallet to his pocket. Anyone sitting close to him must have noticed the beads of sweat appearing on his forehead and the acceleration of his breathing.
He furtively took out his wallet once again and rechecked the numbers, very closely.
Suddenly, he got to his feet and stood on his chair and said "Can I have everyone's attention please. I have a very important announcement to make."
"There's something I want you all to know. (pause) I hate working for this company and I always have. Our Directors are nothing more than rogues and charlatans, interested in nothing but their own self interest."
"For a long time now I have been having an affair with my secretary, who is the only employee in this company for whom I have any regard. I hate you all and you can all go to hell."
"I've just one a ton of money and I'm leaving right now. Happy Christmas everyone!"

i know of a similar real life situation.
A guy I know was offered a new job for a lot more money in Australia.
He walked in to the factory and said '' Stuff your job , I'm off, I've always hated this place and will never see you again, I've got a better job so you can stick this job up your **se!''
Unfortunately the offer fell through and he had to come and ask for his job back again. Believe it or not he got it back!
