Welcome back to the We Do Grotto, where today we’re diving into two festive favourites: hybrid working and Secret Santa faux pas.
Hybrid Working – Like Choosing a Holiday:
Think of it this way:
- Five days in the office? That’s your winter holiday – structured, cosy, maybe a bit intense.
- Fully remote? That’s your summer holiday – relaxed, flexible, and sunny.
- Hybrid? The best of both worlds – just like mixing winter and summer getaways throughout the year.
What’s the trend?
- The best candidates are standing firm, with many saying two days in the office is their max.
- Clients often want three days in-office or more. The sweet spot? Finding compromises that work for both sides.
🎅 Secret Santa Shenanigans:
- The Selection Process: The real drama starts before gifts are even bought – the joy (or dread) when someone draws the name they secretly didn’t want.
- Last-Minute Gifts: The ultimate faux pas? Turning up empty-handed and resorting to a quick Costa voucher. Don’t be that person!
- The Real Fun: Watching the reactions – from laughter to confusion – when the gifts are finally exchanged.
