You and I are likely
working during the holidays,
during that week
between Christmas and New Year’s.
Odds are
your partners, vendors,
employees, contractors
are working also.
But suspecting this
and expecting this
are two different things.
I don’t mind
voluntarily working
during the holidays.
I begrudge
being told I’m working.
Look at the
before the end of the year
tasks
you need other people to complete
and
assign them now.
Allow them to decide
when to complete them
and whether or not
they’ll be working
over the holidays.
