How are we supposed to focus on end-of-year performance reviews when most of us mentally checked out on December 1? It's holiday season, which means we're spending the entire month celebrating. And by celebrating, I mean using tinsel and peppermint mochas as emotional support tools to cope with year-end burnout. Meanwhile, our bosses are convinced this is the perfect time to evaluate our performance and offer constructive criticism, as if any of us have the cognitive bandwidth to absorb feedback that isn't "go home early."

We're too busy shivering in offices that are legally indistinguishable from meat lockers, calculating how many gifts we still need to wrap, and anticipating the inevitable sibling drama that will explode the minute we're trapped in a living room together. The last thing anyone needs is a 45-minute meeting about personal growth.

So, instead of trying to pretend we're fully present and professionally thriving, let's lean into the collective delirium of December.
