Card Factory faces backlash for a controversial Valentine’s Day card aimed at ‘work husbands’
London: Shoppers are scratching their heads after seeing a Valentine’s Day card from Card Factory that some are calling ‘disrespectful’. The card, aimed at ‘work husbands’, has sparked quite the debate online.
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, stores are filled with sweet cards for loved ones. Card Factory, known for its wide selection, has stirred the pot this year with a card for a ‘work husband’. A photo of it made its way to Reddit, and the reactions have been mixed.
Some folks think it’s a fun idea, while others see it as a risky move. One user joked that if their partner received such a card, they’d be heading to jail! Others expressed their discomfort, saying it’s just plain odd to send a card like that.
One person even said they’d quit their job if they got one, feeling it was too cringy. Another chimed in, calling the whole ‘work spouse’ thing disrespectful to real partners. But not everyone is against it; some see it as harmless fun, especially if it’s all platonic.
A Card Factory spokesperson defended the card, saying they aim to offer a range of options for all kinds of relationships. They believe Valentine’s Day is about more than just romantic love, which is why they have cards for friends, pets, and family too.
