In the holiday season, people often bring more than leftovers to work.
They’re stressed by tight budgets. Alcohol flows. Trips home or down memory lane can feel like a warm embrace or a chill blast of unmet childhood needs.
The hangover from all of this can be noticeable on the job. But no matter the season, every day can be bring-your-inner-child-to-work day. And everyone would be better off if workplaces took this reality seriously.
