Almost everyone i know is working this week and work itself is treating this as an inconvenience to productivity which is such an odd shift as businesses used to just close or soft close this time of year. I dont even care about Christmas itself but i liked it being a slow period but its not anymore. Anyone else noticing this shift? I suppose this has always been the case for retail workers there’s no such thing as a holiday for them. The only difference is white collar slimeballs see working more as badge of honour like the little asswipes they are
ugh, the martyring move by white collar bozos to be in the office/productive around xmas is so pathetic. imagine volunteering to demonstrate snivelry.
my own work only gives us xmas off, but everybody can take their vacation time because nobody needs to be here so it becomes this kinda dead week where maybe 10-20% of workers are around. some like working a few days because it’s slow/quiet and they can knock out a few things without distraction, but i suspect most of the rest who come in have fucked up home lives and work is time away from it. theres a dude near me who has come in today even though he’s sick! wtf, you terrorist. go home.
personally, im gonna do a few chill days keeping my shit moving smoothly, but strategically use a few vacation days to get a lush 5day weekend of movies, waffles and fried trash, as CHRIST intended.
