Why can't you say Christmas anymore?
It is a religious thing - global company, many don't celebrate Christmas (or care), so holiday party it is!
Is there an end in sight?
Yes! We hired someone for my job in the US / 6-9 months down the track, they should be up to speed :D
Do you at least get inflationary increases?
Not sure yet, but unlikely.
What do you want to do?
Very little? Nah - If I could have my way, it would be more time spent creating stuff, writing, making things with my hands. But also, more on the development and growth side for people - I like that, but don't get to do it at the level I want. It is more low level stuff at the moment.
Ahh of course. I shall always find that awkward ad back home we all cheerfully celebrate everyone’s holidays 😆
And when the stars and all the new years align you get a long public holiday and so many parties.
