Why is it that the winter holidays have such a dramatic effect on the workplace? And we’re not talking about a “festive music, watch-out-for-mistletoe mood.” We’re talking about how once Thanksgiving hits, it seems that the turkey hangover lasts well beyond the afternoon’s football games and into the general output of the employee populace.
Is it the combination of multiple holidays over a short time period? (And do European companies suffer through the same issues with their more frequent time-off?) Is it the tendency to travel for these holidays that puts coworkers on the road well before they left their desks? And how much more does this hurt a small business versus a large corporation? What are your thoughts?
