Do you have to work Christnas day?
« on: December 07, 2015, 07:20:41 pm »
We are closed Christmas Eve Day, and Christmas Day.  I always save enough vacation days so I can have off from December 23rd until January 2nd.

Yes I actually want to work on xmas because it's more money.  I don't care abut not having off xmas because I don't celebrate anyway.  Thanksgiving is the only holiday I care about having off.

We are closed Christmas Day.  We were told no vacation days would be approved during the holidays.  But "special people" always get them off anyway.

Obviously you don't care about CHRISTmas since you use a x before mas.

It won't be long til they are open all day on Christmas day.  They actually do have people who have to work Christmas night.  Gotta get ready for the big sales on the 26th.

I am retired now, so don't have to work on Christmas Day or any other day for that matter. But even when I was working, I always had Christmas off. I don't believe I have ever worked at a job that required working on Christmas Day.

Our store is closed on Christmas.  I'm not sure what the store hours are on Christmas Eve.  I've requested the day after off...so we'll see if they honor it.

My computer is acting up so  have to do it this way.

We are closed Christmas Day.  We were told no vacation days would be approved during the holidays.  But "special people" always get them off anyway

I am not "special", where I work anyone can take off anytime if they have vacation left.  I have been there over 30 years and get 5 weeks vacation.  Normally between Christmas and New Years the entire company only has a small skelton staff.

I volunteered to work: I do tech support and I can use the extra money.

No thank goodness I am retired so I don't have to work any holidays.  When I worked for the school district always had time off at most holidays.  Also at one of the call centers I worked at if I remember right they were always closed for Christmas day although I think I had to work Christmas Eve which I didn't like but oh well in the past.   :present:
