Almost everyone i know is working this week and work itself is treating this as an inconvenience to productivity which is such an odd shift as businesses used to just close or soft close this time of year. I dont even care about Christmas itself but i liked it being a slow period but its not anymore. Anyone else noticing this shift? I suppose this has always been the case for retail workers there’s no such thing as a holiday for them. The only difference is white collar slimeballs see working more as badge of honour like the little asswipes they are

    The vibe has been really weird around here. I’ve been out shopping for incidentals and expected to have to deal with the usual consumer spending orgy but it kinda just … hasn’t happened. Maybe a little bit busier than normal, but nothing excessive. Even the decorations in the shopping centres are kinda half-assed this year, and I don’t think I’ve heard Mariah Carey even once.

      Shops were pretty busy yesterday but i dont remember hearing any Christmas music at all. This place would always blast Mariah Carey. Christmas is truly over the woke mob didn’t kill it, it killed itself
