Working through the holiday season feels a bit like purgatory. Nothing really happens; coworkers drift in and out of the office, and your boss has been at their lakeside cabin for weeks somehow. The emails keep piling up like dirty snow in the streets, but there is a way out of this hellscape with minimal scathing–just stop caring! The holidays are here! End of the year pizza parties celebrate record profits and Linda from HR is asking the whole department to pitch $30 for an executive's gift.

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure our CEOs already wrote themselves a hefty 5-figure bonus for the holidays...

Clocking in this time of the year may feel extra silly, but to get that paycheck to afford our little gifts for our family and friends, we gotta go out there and get that bag. So for those of us who are giving it the bare minimum, planning to circle back on every major project in 2025, keep scrolling to procrastinate a little more, and get through the holidays with only marginal laments.
