We still have two holidays and associated vacations and vacation brain to go. And then the January hangover.
Every company that has ignored my following advice has experienced a day for day slip in first quarter scheduling. And that advice is: not much work gets done between Dec 15 and Jan 15. You can rely on a week worth, more than that is optimistic. People are taking it easy and they need to verify things with someone who is on vacation so they are blocked. And when that person gets back, it’s two days until their vacation so it’s a crap shoot.
NB: there’s work happening on Jan 10, for certain, but it’s not getting finished until the 15th. People are often still cleaning up after bad decisions they made during the holidays and the subsequent hangover.
