I'd work a sh*tty job if it paid well  Luckily, I don't have to worry about that.

You aren't expressing discontent some employers don't offer an extra day off?

It's expressing a difference of business philosophy, not "discontent".

You labeled people's jobs as sh*tty and called employers greedy POS who don't give an extra day off. That's not "expressing a difference in business philosophy", that's irrational complaining.

Not if you're basis for saying those things is more than "I just want the day off"

Well, that and the unsubstantiated claim it's bad for business. As if getting some productivity is a bad thing.

What exactly is dumb about operating a business on a non-holiday?

I'm fine with him wanting the day off. If he has an employer who is willing to give it to him, great. But he's complaining in general about a company's paid holiday policy. It's neither dumb or bad business practice to operate a business on a non-holiday and to expect employees to use a vacation day if they desire it off.

From reading this thread I get the impression Crusaders would be a terrible business owner. On a side note, I wonder how many times he's utilized the services of a business on an actual holiday and didn't think twice about it.

My original reply to this was deleted for "bullying" apparently. So I'll just say, for your financial future, please never start a business and stick to working for others.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's why PTO/Vacation Days exist.

Could you imagine his outrage if he went somewhere the day before the holiday and it was closed?

Most companies give out enough vacation and/or pto time that issues like this aren't a problem. I've literally never heard a person complain about it until Crusaders.

Well, this went off the rails. I worked the 3rd and the 4th. But, I work for myself so it was my judgement to make. Made great money, and I'm not working the 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th. So, win-win.

Same here. My father can't gloat at me like he used to. Nowadays he just grins and says "Now you know what it's like".
