Must be nice. Have not had a day off or a vacation in the last 15 years. We are short 4 people and no one wants to work so now I’m working Saturdays now . Last person who took vacation days the owner fired his arse the day he got back from his vacation. I have over 600 PTO days, not allowed to use them , probably won ‘t be paid for them.

Every fricking year, December is a bullshite work month. frick trying to accomplish anything. fricking trying to resolve work emergencies. Everyone’s fricking checked out and most people are on vacation. Leaving anyone trying to act responsible with 10 pounds of shite in a 2 pound bag.

So frick it, let’s just cancel work in December. Do what Europe does with August.

I know a lot of this board is against remote work, but at the very least, I think December should be a remote month for any worker where it's possible to do so.

I know in my education job, I am still technically "on the clock" in December when the students are gone and even have to go into the office next week when 98% of the students, or however many, are home for winter break.

I think, in whatever field you're in, just having common sense during the holiday times should be the norm. I'm not saying no one does any work, but if you give a little now, your employees will remember this and do a little extra work later when you need it done.

Time to get a new job. You know employees have power right? Businesses can’t survive without them.

Same reason why on Friday afternoon that it’s pointless to do anything major. After lunch on Friday, most everyone is just waiting to go home

I love threads like this because you can tell who has a real job

Fixed your quote a bit but - wow that might be the only correct statement you've ever had on here

Hopefully an ai than can do emails will come out soon and put all the soy work from homers out of a job


And then trump can find them a useful job like the steel mill or coal mine

Sounds like everyday of the year when dealing with people that work from home. Hope they had fun.

I read this line and thought to myself, "I wonder what job he is going to try to pretend to have today?"

Didn't disappoint.

I'm self employed, so I will be working as much as I can.

I’m slammed at work right now with end of the year budget projects for industrial clients.

Same...We are also getting a lot of, "Well, we have some capital money left over, can you get this done before the end of the year" conversations all while they go on vacation for 2 weeks.
