Feels like the easiest thing would be to have granular holiday opt-outs in the email contact settings. Just direct folks there and be done with it.I'm sure it was in response to multiple emails along the lines of "HOW VERY DARE YOU?"
I'm conflicted about the whole thing. Mother's day was very difficult for my wife until my first born started celebrating it for her. My wife's mother died of brain cancer when she was in high school and very much changed everything that happened after. Now that she is a mother of her own child (not a step child), she is especially embracing it.
I'm not sure corporate america needs to take responsibility for not triggering folks (edit: well given the following, they could offer better benefits). Mental Health is still very taboo here and also really fucked up (see some of my posts elsewhere) so its not like these folks have the right avenues to really talk about it. I think sending out a possibly triggering email about being triggered is stupid, but there is a line here that some folks may want to walk. I'm not sure what kind of solution there really is for it - a form when you subscribe to a email newsletter (do the following things trigger you?) but there is a bit of well I get where they are coming from anyhow. But I also get your point.
