It's often a busy time leading up to the holidays. There's a lot of coordination to ensure everything runs smoothly. So, workload tends to increase for us.

That’s good! Staying busy is what keeps the lights on!

For me, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Some years, it's quieter, but there have been times when it's surprisingly busy, and I can guess it's going to decrease for me this year!

I see. For me this year, it’s been really busy.

Going into the 4th quarter it increased tremendously. I think we're started to slow down now. We got most of our biggest orders out of the way.

That’s great to hear!

It has increased for sure. I used to really enjoy the holiday season until I go into supply chain, lol. Now I know it signifies the beginning of a really busy work season.

It’s certainly a choice to be in supply chain! It can get really busy out of nowhere!

It has really increased as of a few weeks ago. I am hoping it doesn't get too crazy towards the holidays because so many staff have put in for time off and we will be a skeleton crew.

I know what you mean. Luckily I already put my time in months ago.

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

Let's start a thread to highlight which industries and/or companies are doing right by their employees this holiday season. Share your job title and what kind of year-end bonus you are getting. (Feel free to share your company's name if you are comfortable doing that)

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
