Don’t you feel electrified by this message of Robin love? Is anyone really going to come out of this totally refreshed and ready? Do tell please.
I for one, don’t see any rest or recharge. I am going to be handholding offshore and dealing with direct client issues. I welcome being let go as long as I get full severence. And that isn’t likely. I think veterans of this place are going to be jipped on this. My manager even told me the aboves are looking to limit or stop payouts on more than 50% of those people targeted.

How stupid are you? You think this is some kind of gift they are giving us? As if we are really getting a break? This time of year is the most stressful of all at this underpowered hamster wheel. And I dont even know what non essential meetings mean anymore? Everything here is ‘do it or else does not meets’
You blasted half wit.
I laugh every year they say this. More than half team are off so personally busier than normal. I wish I had time to relax learning how to properly speak AI. Obviously senior leaders are off sipping egg nog and thinking no-one really doing work keeping the lights on. They will then come back after holidays saying now you relaxed you need to do even more, while I'll be needing a rest.
@as+1kcw4nxq3 That’s not what’s happening. Only thing different is not having to drive in. Even though we’re in office 4 days. We schedule meeting for when we’re all home. So not sure what the difference is other than not dealing with traffic. As far as handholding offshore. That doesn’t end.

I think the poster is saying he/she is not getting anytime for relief and tossing it off due to their normal ongoing India instructional meetings and critical business client engagements. I just happen to agree 100% with that. You don’t do very much here do you? HR will toss you off.
The recharge period means not needing to attend non-essential / non-business critical meetings. What you describe doesn't sound like any of the above. Just admit you want it toss it off and be paid for it.
Eff that job until January 5
