I'm not in that situation anymore, but it was very common for one of us in my customer site team to be asked to work holidays or weekends, in support of the customer. We readily did it, with getting equivalent time off later. We were salaried, so we didn't get any overtime increase in pay.

Sure, I would do it for the coin, take another day off the following weekend and still be on the plus side. Don't have to take a scheduled holiday, just create your own. Besides, the following weekend would be less busy.

the July 4th is a normal day here :D but even if it wasn't, I would ask why. If it's a kind of emergency and i had no plans, then why not?

I work part time and live across the country from my friends and family, so yes. I’d work, lol. Gives me a bit extra pocket money.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

If I have no plans, sure I’ll work. I don’t care for beaches… if my family is having a big gathering.. then can’t work.
for my case … I did work when I was a teenager… once I got my career.. I never worked 4 th oh July.

LiamS95 · Answer

I live in Canada so I get July 1st off and I wouldn't care if I have to work July 4th as I probably will anyway. Who wants a holiday on a Thursday why not celebrate July 4th on July 5th so you can enjoy a long weekend?

I was a slave to my job in the past, but it worked out... I am retiring relatively young for an American. If they asked me to work this 4th of July I would tell them to f off though LOL

exitseven · Answer

I would be getting double time and a half and the holiday is on a Thursday and I have to work Friday anyway.
