It’s impossible to get anything done this time of year.

Alice, Bob, and Carol all have to collaborate to get a thing done. Alice is out for one week, then Bob is out for the next week, then it’s Christmas so everyone is out, then Carol takes the week after that off.

People are putting in hours, but everything they make gets logjammed at the point where someone else has to review it.

You come back to it in January, and it’s like half of it’s stale enough that you nearly have to start over, and the other half is not a priority anymore so it’ll sit on the back burner until it becomes stale enough to be worthless.

I see this all the time. I bet we'd be more productive if we all had the month of December off and came back truly refreshed, instead of trying to look busy and force it.

And happy we have to rush like fuck to get everything in for peak season to everyone else.

To me its the 'engineers rush to push updates that break everything and release botched products before year end and disappear' season
