Christmas Podding: Day 10 – Resignations, Christmas Conundrums, and Awkward Presents 🎄

Video

Welcome back to the We Do Grotto, where today’s episode is packed with festive debates, career advice, and a whole lot of laughter.

First up: What’s harder to navigate – handing in your resignation or surviving Christmas?

  • Resignations are tough – they’re emotional and can weigh heavily, especially at the end of the year. Our advice:
    • Be honest and have the conversation face-to-face (or virtually if needed).
    • Keep your resignation letter short, factual, and gracious – leave with the same grace you entered.
    • Don’t let challenges fester – communicate and try to resolve issues before making a final decision.

Christmas navigation is no easier! Balancing family visits, traditions, and an ever-growing guest list can be overwhelming. Our tip? Take turns, split the days, or embrace the chaos. After all, Christmas is about making memories – even if they’re messy ones!

And finally, awkward Christmas presents. Whether it’s rewrapping someone’s own belongings or gifting random items from “Stephen,” sometimes the best gifts are the ones that spark confusion and laughter. Who knew fruit bowls and fake names could bring so much joy?
