TheLeon Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I did have today off, but only because this is my normal schedule. My warehouse operates like normal most holidays, with the fun wrinkle of the week leading up to them being blacked out for time off requests.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I've been off since Friday. That seems like a first for me, at least in recent years. I don't really care, but I always seem to wind up working Labor Day and Memorial Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 In Oregon, employers don't have to pay extra on holidays. Some do anyway, especially in retail, but it's not required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I've eaten plenty of crabs growing up and it's not worth all the work for the small amount of meat you get. Not lazy it's just not worth it.
