Welcome back, corporate zombies. This is another installment in the series of employee burnout posts to numb the pain. We finally have something to look forward to: Thanksgiving. Whether you spend it drama-free with loved ones or having debates with extended family, one thing is for certain: We are all ecstatic that we have a day off.

There's a lull in the holidays we have off from work leading up to the actual holiday season for many employees. It's difficult clocking in every morning when the burnout is so strong that we can barely pull ourselves out from under our big, cozy comforters. Oh, forget about leaving the hot shower in the morning… I'm calling out sick.

We won't be able to wish you a happy Thanksgiving next week, so we want to give you some tips now: Tell everyone you'll circle back. Eventually. Be very careful not to specify when. They will probably be telling other colleagues the same thing. Next, don't get too cozy. We only have a day or two off. Make a game plan for the weird limbo between now and Christmas… This will help you survive the end of the year. If it sounds like the Hunger Games out here, it's because it is. Scroll below.
