"They definitely wanted to celebrate the holidays with their loved ones and now you are depriving them from doing so by using money at a tool to hold them back… I’m so sure some of them haven’t seen their loved ones in years."

"You did good as a well considerate farm Owner, most farms are always short staffed during festive season, it's harder to keep staffs on the farm cuz they mostly resign towards the end of the year, if 7 of them are granted to leave , be sure at least 5 won't return by next yr."

"Good for the business but mentally it’s wrecking, structure your business in a way people can spend time with their loved ones in times like this, poverty really do take away your freedom of choice, May we all be financially free in 2026."

According to the man, when the HR called him, he thought he would receive a big Christmas bonus, but was disappointed.
Instead of a big Christmas bonus, the man was given an appreciation letter and two candles. The man noted that he kept a perfect attendance record for the year. He made a video showing the items and the letter in an envelope.
