Do you work the day after Thanksgiving?

[Warik]

I do.

And my boss came to [de]motivate everybody by talking [censored] about those who wanted the day after Thanksgiving off.

One for every day that > 50% of business close and mine doesn't.... or until I finally quit this job I hate and get one that doesn't suck.

How many times are you going to whine about my "my boss makes me work" threads?

Interesting. I hadn't considered pointing out the repetitiveness of your whining as whining.

You see, my whining serves everyone a purpose, unlike yours.

With every work-whine thread I post, everyone can see how much my boss sucks, i.e., more than theirs. In turn, this makes them feel better about working where they work and maybe, just maybe, for a split second, their happiness levels will rise.

You asking me to stop posting such threads, however, makes everyone think that I might actually do so. This makes them sad.

Don't worry everyone. I won't stop.

Actually i didn't ask you to stop for this very reason. I just pointed out the repetitiveness to make myself feel even better about it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I worked at a place that made us work the day after. They also only gave 4 people max vacation days during Christmas and I worked on Christmas Eve and had to work during the Superbowl to update a site as commercials ran for the company.

No. Internet travel company.

Historically, we have never made a single penny the day after Thanksgiving.

He "wishes he could take the day off" too, though. Funny... of all the days of the year to actually come to work he chooses the day after Thanksgiving?
