A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year

Damn! Not that the whole bleat isn't awful, but that's one of the stupidest sentences ever in ALL of the ways! ๐Ÿคฆ

Don't these holidays cost owners rather than workers, though?

I used to love working holidays as a single guy for that double pay. ๐Ÿค‘

No holidays means only 1x pay ๐Ÿ‘Ž nevermind if you just wanted to take the day off without getting docked.

No one is forcing anyone to be closed on holidays! There's no law or rule or anything!

Banks don't have to close and work absolute shit hours because they handle money!

You wanna make more money stay open on holidays.

I work in appliance repair I get the 4th of July, thanksgiving and Christmas and new years.

It sucks. But we make more money.

300 million people can't have a single fucking day off every once in a while because it will "cost billions", while less than 10 people are hoarding over a TRILLION in wealth.

Too many non-working presidents and billionaires in your country.

Back to the days of peasants petitioning the lord to restore their holy days
