My wife is a nurse in an NHS trust. This letter addressed to our two children came home this week. A very sweet touch.

Have I slept through October and November?
Lovely letter but WAY too early for Christmas bah humbug. 😖
Repost this in December for positive responses 👍
“And as a thank you, here is a £100 gift card for Toby Carvery so you can enjoy a Christmas meal on us” is missing!
That is very thoughtful. Do staff get triple salary on national holiday?
This is just emotional blackmail thinly veiling the fact the hospital knows all too well they have medical staff work too many hours to the detriment of their family.
This is insulting, not a nice gesture. If Mommy is so important because shes done so many hours, get them a better worklife balance.
probably mass printed by the G4S printing division
It’s barely autumn, this is criminal
3 months = it’s nearly Christmas for supermarkets, who’ve started to put out Christmas stuff, but the NHS too..
Nice, but could have a gift card attached
Deffo too early for Christmas but as a kid I had a mom who worked in the NHS and a dad who was a firefighter, so I’d rarely have both of them home on Christmas, and this is so sweet and thoughtful!
Fuck everything about this, pure guilt trip bullshit to make Mummy feel better about working over Christmas. Give her an extra £500 for presents and fuck off.
If any comment section sums up this sub it’s gonna be this one.
What a ridiculous time of year to be sending this letter, it’s only September!
Far too early, but I found it interesting that they used they/them pronouns…
I’m sure a letter to the nurse detailing an acceptable pay offer so she can buy her kids some nice presents and afford the heating and food this Christmas without getting into debt is gonna land on her doorstep any day now
It is NOT nearly Christmas, this letter can get tae fuck
The way you find out you’re working the Christmas shift…ho ho ho
I don’t think this is cute.
I think it’s firstly way too early in the year, it’d probably make my kids think it’s nearly Christmas which is really isn’t.
It’s also a bit rude I think. Kids don’t fully understand the meaning (young ones) of their parents not being there at Christmas and this feels like a kick in the teeth.
Do they already have a tree up in the hospital, or is Cara misleading us?
Having gone to the trouble of referring to Mummy, the letter then uses “them” which reveals this for the mass mail-merge attempt at a “thank you” that it is. I get what the CEO is trying to do here but it just misfires for me
It’s literally September, have people gone fucking mental?
it’s SEPTEMBER!
Thank you for posting, it’s lovely to see positive, sweet letters 🙂 I hope you will have plenty of days to spend with your children over the festive season!
Sending Christmas themed correspondence mid-september should be a criminal offence
1) It’s September
2) Emotional manipulation. “It’s ok that my mum is working on Christmas because some rich person that doesn’t actually care about us sent out a letter that they probably didn’t even write”.
Literally anything but a pay rise..
Thanks for sharing your mummy for Christmas
*Confused Kid dressed for Halloween* “….u wot? Mate”
As a frontline NHS worker, I’d appreciate a pay rise more than a letter to my children from my chief exec- I know letters and condescending doorstep claps are cheaper but still…
Amazing. They’ll really do anything except give these “amazingly helpful workers” a meaningful well earned pay rise.
