A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

He's right. This year, everybody's gotta work Christmas.

Back to the days of peasants petitioning the lord to restore their holy days

Yeah Americans have way too many holidays, like two hole weeks per year!

I mean, compare that to the Europeans with their lousy 5 weeks per year, they never take off!

Working with people in other countries it really make me jealous they have a notional holiday, seeming every month where the business is closed. Really wish the US had more days like that

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As far as I can tell the US has only slightly less than an average number of public holidays, but the amount of PTO is close to zero for a lot of people.

EU working time directive requires 28 paid days off per year (including public holidays) as a minimum.

Don’t worry, Don, the “essential workers” won’t be affected.

This is the first trump post where I saw the members of r/conservative unanimously against the president.

Too bad they'll still support him anyway..

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

keep up the talk fat man and we'll have a paid holiday for every finger and toe we cut off.

You guys are getting days off?

Why do we use the fall of civilization period known as the middle ages as a standard? Most of human history was hunter-gatherers. One of the better moments was during the age of Rome.

Orangeboi staying true to form and leaning into the idiotic, inaccurate, archaic, and racist “lazy people of color” trope, I see. And on Juneteenth, too. I’m sure that’s part of the subtext he was going for.
