Working on Christmas sounds like a crime against humanity. Yet, it’s a reality for many Americans. Many people in the U.S. will have to work on Christmas Day, and it’s estimated that 9.2% of U.S. hourly workers will most likely clock in on December 25th.
This woman also had to work on Christmas Day, but she asked her coworker to switch. Her reasoning? She has children, and that makes her more entitled to days off during the holidays than her childless colleague. Because the coworker already had plans, they refused, but later started feeling pressure from other colleagues. So, they asked for advice online.
