It’s again that time of the year, when…

It’s again that time of the year;

When the trees look barren and the greenery and the flowers disappear.
 

It’s again that time of the year;

When icy cold winds and blanket of snow appear.

It’s again that time of the year;

When people look to relax and unwind with their families in-tier.

It’s again that time of the year;

When the festive lights glow and the mood shits to the shopping cheer.

It’s again that time of the year;

When kids look for gifts from Santa on his reindeer.

It’s again that time of the year;

When doom Sayers predict, end of the earth is mid next year.

It’s again that time of the year;

When many party all night and start with a hangover on the New Year.

It’s again that time of the year;

When some take up gym membership and plan work schedules to adhere.

 

Having spent more than a decade in the IT industry, these are some of my common (and repeating ones) observations from the IT industry.

 

It’s again that time of the year;

When employees rush to use their vacation days before they disappear.

It’s again that time of the year;

When employees are asked to review everything that went wrong in that past year.

It’s again that time of the year;

When employees are asked to hope for a positive next year.

 

This, in my opinion, is the most notorious one in my IT experience (really hate this).

It’s again that time of the year;

When recycled emails and retouched season’s greetings appear.
