What is your job? The deal here is that people have to work on Thanksgiving because Target wants to leak black Friday into Thursday night.
I managed a movie theater through college. Everyone we hired knew they were going to work late, weekends, and holidays(3 shifts out of the 5 between Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve/Day, and New Years Eve/Day). The issue is a lot of places don't have this expectation. Knowing you will have to work every Black Friday and now being asked to work Thanksgiving night because Black Friday is now Black Thursday is a legit gripe IMO. I wouldn't quit over it, but if people were rallying to stop it I would be behind them. |

A day is a day. I can save PTO and take time off at some other time to spend time with my family since I will be working holidays. Quote:

Actually not really as I was told I get 6 paid holidays off. Catch being someone has to do therapy so plenty of us still work. I, however, will not complain about it or play the entitlement card. Work is work and it isn't always fair.

Wow, I have NEVER heard of a doctors office open on Thanksgiving let alone a physical therapists office. Emergency services and Urgent care, yes but nothing like what you described.

To Deberg's point, I think the difference is police, firefighters, EMT, hospitals, etc. provide LIFE SAVING SERVICES. They are also many times GOVERNMENT workers compensated quite handsomely for their work on holidays. If you are going to equate buying cheap crap made in third world countries as the same level of importance then this country is even more fugged than I even imagined. And if you are, then why aren't retail workers compensated equivalent to doctors, EMT, firefighters, etc?
