How do you all make it to Christmas without doing any real work? I’m genuinely asking because my motivation left on November 30th.

Be proud of yourself, you made it further than I did! My motivation disappeared sometime in like August. I've been coasting off of caffeine since then.

Just this week and the next, and then I’m off until January. Having the company shut down for half the month doesn’t do much for anyone's motivation, but I still find something to do until then.

My motivation left Nov 1 haha. I feel like Nov and Dec are joke months, nobody really works very much anyways so you can kind of coast by. That's probably not true in every job but it is in mine.

Pertinent confessions here...how I wish employers will consider sustaining motivation as their key deliverable. A-Z at the workplace it's about this !! Why are they stone deaf surprises me. They better listen and act promptly. A simple survey among employees will give quick feedback to enable them act promptly and correctly too. 2026 must be different!!

Just keep setting meeting to discuss rather than doing things
