WTF is a "holiday break?"

funnylike

To those getting a break, enjoy. To those looking for work, I hope you can switch off over the coming days. And to those working through the break, find ways to undermine the system so you can reclaim some of your time!

I would say mine started a couple months ago after I was laid off but actually I’ve been anxiously working to find a new job. And unfortunately, the anxiety won’t go away over the next few weeks either

Been there before. To the extent that you can, spend the holidays disconnecting. You aren’t getting a job in the next two weeks.
