But I think people going out for a sale on Thanksgiving and workers being forced to accommodate them is ridiculous, and it's gonna keep happening as long as people keep shopping. I think it's a very selfish, materialistic thing to do.<br /><br />Ideally, employers would be like, "Okay, anyone willing to work?" and plan accordingly, which is kind of what my employer does--I work for a closed-captioning company that's open 24/7 to deal with clients and keep up on the workload, and holidays are staffed on a volunteer basis. That way, people who don't celebrate the holiday or don't like their family or even just could really use the financial boost of the holiday pay are able to work if they want, but it's not mandatory.Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222907860631048294noreply@blogger.com
