What is your company’s holiday schedule? I think time off is an important part of mental health care at work and I’ve had some companies that gave great benefits around time off. One company gave us the last two weeks of the year off - mandatory. I haven’t seen anything that great since. Does your job offer any great schedules to close off the year?

We have the day before, the holiday, and the day after. Which I am thankful for because I’ve been at companies where only the day off was given off and even that seemed difficult for them to do. I would almost think more mandatory time off would give everyone a better chance to set expectations around holidays.

Mandatory time off around the holiday is a great mental and physical reset IMO

That was how my first tech marketing job was, everyone got the last 2 weeks of the year off with pay (and it didn't count as part of our yearly PTO). It was such a smart decision because it made so many of us loyal to the company and nobody felt resentful at the end of the year. Productivity in January was always better because of this

Same. It’s part of the reason why I stayed at that company for so long. Now, I’m always in a crunch around the holidays both with work and trying to take time off and it’s a pain in the ass.

Well I am super jealous. My husband is working for a company giving him Wednesday afternoon through Friday off but not mine! I have to work a full day Wednesday, we get Thursday off for the holiday but then I am expected to be back in office bright and early Friday morning 🫤

Wow. What industry are you in if you don’t mind me asking?

We shut down entirely between Christmas and New Year’s. If it lands mid-week, we typically stretch into whatever the following Monday is for a restart date. To be honest, I can’t believe we’re about to start a new quarter again. Wasn’t it just New Year’s a few months ago?!
