Alright, here’s the deal. This one’s a Seinfeld episode—no plot, just pure, unfiltered venting from two Ops leaders crawling out of their post-holiday holes. If you've ever come back from a break and immediately questioned your career, your calendar, and your blood pressure meds, this episode is your therapy session.

Mike and Christina rip into the chaos of December in Ops: the false promise of time off, clients who choose violence instead of saying “Merry Christmas,” and the pressure cooker that is year-end with no release valve in sight. From pointless launch timelines to leadership fatigue, it’s a brutally honest look at why the new year never really feels new when you're still mopping up Q4’s mess.

Buckle up. It’s messy, mildly therapeutic, and painfully relatable.
