Groceries up, taxes up, people delaying family formation due to price, progressive credentialism, rent through the roof and this dumb old man is grousing we're not working hard enough. You want it, incentivize it you crusty old boomer.

Holidays are important to recharge any employees batteries and good for mental health in general. Senior managers generally work after hours, are on call, expected to take meetings or customer dinners outside of work hours. Often getting the position by giving up more of their free hours in trade for very good pay. Some others don't see the background, they want that kind of pay without putting in the extra time. John, it sounds like you are in a toxic workplace you should change jobs.

Dayton: Holidays don't kill the spirit of hard work. Not being appreciated, respected, recognized, or paid for the work you do kills it. Seeing your bosses and CEOs make more and more while you make less and less kills it. Layoffs when companies have record high profits kills working spirit.
