What an unnecessary work week

What is that mystical product your company sells that you have to work Dec 26th - 31st?


I have to and this is me at the rest house answering 10 emails. This work week could have been an email...

There is always one person who makes a deal, then a company wide email goes out “See this is the best time to sell”

I just checked my work email: ONE email. And it's a newsletter.

We may not be off, but most of our customers are.

I am off today, but will be working the rest of the week.

I'm going to be scheduling meetings for January and working on my SKO documents. We have some implementations underway that I'm monitoring, and those don't stop, so I'm on those calls, but mostly to keep track of progress. That's it for me.

You look very chill. If you gotta work, you figured out how and where best to do it!

I had to... this is my parent's rest house, so it better has to be some well-spent time with them than be at home complaining about how this week should have been an email...

1 jerkoff will get a deal it could be for $3 and it will be enough for management to justify the work week

My last role revolved around selling coaching products to SMBs, and this time of year was great because they often wanted to get deductions in to offset profits. With that said, most jobs I worked in this week was pointless.

It really is a big waste. Yes, a deal or two will come in, but overall it definitely should be used to recharge for the new year.
