The Time I Almost Ghosted My Job (But Hackaween Saved Me) ????

Hey LinkedIn fam! ?? How’s the weather treating y’all? Here in Irvine, it’s that perfect mix of sunny and crisp—ideal for pumpkin spice lattes and cozy sweaters. ??? But let’s not forget, it’s Hackaween season, and I’ve got a spooky, LOL-worthy tale for you. Buckle up, because this one’s a wild ride! ??

The Setup: Fall Vibes in Irvine ??

Fall in Irvine is lit! From pumpkin patches to Oktoberfest, there’s always something to do. Single peeps are hitting up haunted houses, while families are all about those apple orchards and hayrides. ???? Married folks? They’re probably debating over the best fall decor while sipping on mulled wine. ??

Food-wise, it’s all about comfort. Think butternut squash soup, roasted veggies, and anything pumpkin-flavored. Drinks? Pumpkin spice lattes, hot apple cider, and for the adventurous, some spiked hot chocolate. ??

Fashion? Oh, it’s on point. Guys are rocking flannel shirts and beanies, gals are slaying in oversized sweaters and ankle boots. And for those WFH vibes, it’s all about cozy joggers and hoodies. Gender-neutral? Think chic cardigans and comfy leggings. ????

The Spooky Tale: Quiet Quitting Chronicles ??

So, picture this: It’s a foggy October morning. ??? I’m in my home office, aka my cozy corner with fairy lights and a secret snack drawer. The vibe is immaculate. ?? But something feels off. My laptop screen flickers, and suddenly, a message pops up: “Welcome to the Quiet Quitting Club. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to master the art of doing just enough.” ??

I laugh it off, thinking it’s a prank. But then, weird things start happening. My to-do list shrinks on its own, meetings get mysteriously canceled, and my boss starts sending passive-aggressive thumbs-up emojis. ??

The Hackaween Twist ??

One day, I decide to investigate. I sneak into the office (yes, I actually left my house ??) and find my colleagues in a trance, quietly quitting like pros. They’re sipping on keto smoothies, discussing the latest fall fashion trends, and planning their next yoga retreat. ??♂???♀?

I confront my boss, who reveals the truth: The office is haunted by the spirit of Quiet Quitting. Every fall, it takes over, making everyone do the bare minimum while still looking fabulous. The only way to break the curse? Embrace the quiet quitting lifestyle and share your story. ??

So, What Are You Waiting For? ??
