Overworked employees will have their OOO auto-reply in effect for the rest of 2025. December is in full swing, which means that most workers have mentally clocked out, tasted the turkey, and are already planning for next year’s productivity goals. Don’t count on that holiday bonus coming through just yet, because management has proven they’re unreliable. But with an imminent end-of-the-year pizza party on the calendar, year-end reviews, and Q4 goals breathing down your neck, what’s there to motivate you to keep going? PTO.
Soon, your average week will be short and delightful, proving that we can get an entire week’s worth of work done in only a matter of hours. Managers will pull out their hair and employees will call out sick, while bosses lounge in their Arizona timeshares next to the golf course. All is right in the world, and before you know it, we’ll be moving on to the new year with a renewed sense of hating our jobs.
Until then, hang in there, fellow worker! Shareholder value must be generated, and we’re the only ones who can come to the rescue!
