Dude I know who worked his ass off, and basically lived for his job, died two days ago from a heart attack. He was 61 years old. Poor guy didn't even make it to retirement
I've been on the receiving end of that before too, at one of the first companies I worked for. It blows, but it taught me a good lesson about what to expect from employers and where to set boundaries between work and life.
I always fail to use my vacation throughout the year so this is when I am off on Monday and Friday for 4-5 weeks. Going back to a 5 day week in January really sucks.

I will do nothing and I will feel true joy, or existential dread. Depends on the day.

Better than being laid off right before Thanksgiving after almost a decade at the company 🙃

Sorry, that sucks. Loyalty never seems to go in the other direction, does it?

Too true. Thanks though Picard, that means a lot coming from such a prolific shit poster.

Maybe nip that in the bud next year and just continue it through January
I can't think of a worse month to nearly double your workload from the previous
