For some people, they do not want the holiday to come to an end. Thus,
returning from a break off work can be very tough especially when you
have got the post-holiday blues. We share 5 things you should never do
when you return to work after your vacation.

go, but your coworkers might still be recovering from their holiday
mood.

emails, the more it piles up for them. As such, when they return from
their getaway, they will be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of task they
have to complete. To avoid this on your first day back, get a head

do the day you get back. Knowing what is next or what you have to do can
