Working on Holidays

[ThetaGrrl]

I'll be stuck working through the holidays (except Christmas and Thanksgiving), even though all the brokers in my office won't be here... one more reason why it sucks to be at the bottom of the ladder...

I work for the state, so we get all federal and state holidays off.

I work for the city, so I get all those wonderful days off as well.

In TV production, holidays are like any other days. If they're part of your regular schedule, you work them -- often with no additional compensation or comp time.

Yeah, didn't realize this when I said I would work Christmas Day so my co workers could travel to be with their families. So, now I have to work Xmas day with no benefits. What really ticks me off is that the full time people get double time and a half, and we get our regular $7 an hour. Seriously, I'm sooo sick of this place.

My job deals with seasonal work and the summer is our busy season, so we don't get any summer holidays off and we don't get extra pay, however after Labor Day we've gotten a bunch off. The office is closed the week between X-mas and New Year's off, and I was very excited about that until I found out that they take our vacation days for it.

At both my current job and my new job, I'll have to work when the hospital is open; in other words, most every day. I'll have Christmas off and New Year's Day off, but besides that I'll beat the office.

I like it just cause I get paid more. Sad but true.
