How many here punch a time clock to make ends meet. Unfortunately, I do. The warehouse that I work at decided last year that it wasn't cost effective to celebrate holidays. No extra pay, no bonus of any kind for working any holiday. As expected since there was no incentive for working holidays they had several call ins. They informed us last week that we are now required to work the day before, the day of, and the day after EVERY holiday. If we don't we will be fired on the spot. Last year I worked Christmas eve but when I got off work came down with one of the worst cases of flu I've had in years. I spent Christmas and the day after throwing up. Naturally I had to call in those 2 days. The way I get it I would have been fired for missing 2 days work even though my record was clear up to then. I was curious if other companies are following the same example or what now. I suppose it's also a bit of a rant as well. This place sure has went down hill recently but it's the only place around that pays decently.
