Happy labor Day to Those in the USA!!! Please, Be safe!!! xxoo
I know some businesses observe it. I've always had to work on that holiday because the businesses I worked for wanted to stay open so they could dwindle more customers out of money. I worked in customer service for Discover once, and the way they treated employees, unacceptable. I remember this one lady was 8 months pregnant, and she was having labor pains, and the only way they would let her leave without being terminated is if someon from her drs office verified she was actually in labor. Believe it or not, thats not the worst stunt they ever pulled, lol. Jobs are so stressing, and my anxiety is high! Like I'm medicated and it's not even working anymore. I am seriously thinking of becoming a professional writer and publishing the first 2 books of the series I've been working on and see where it takes me! I really believe businesses take advantage of their employees!

Appreciating the people who contribute to the society and in whose absence the nation won't run/sustain.. and being proud to one of them!
It means
- One last bbq
- Time to close the pool
- Time to inventory the winter gear & fall gardening supplies and stock up on what's needed
- Apple picking
- Changing my wardrobe
- Time to purchase next year's calendar
It means I get to celebrate working…by not working.

Time to put the white shoes back in the closet! And welcome back, college football!
Cheap brats at the food store.
Food stores selling New Zealand apples that were picked 6 months ago and put "to sleep" for sales now. Too bad they lose 80% of their crispness.
Finally having weather cool enough to finish all the chores I started in April.
Having my wife start her Christmas shopping.
Realizing that the year is 2/3 over. :- (
I’d say it should make most Americans sick. At this point, I see it as another one time pay adjustment with no pay raise, donut appreciation day for workers, cheap sign on incentive, another “fuck you, I’m not giving you a higher base pay rate, so have a cookie and more overtime instead”.
It’s especially a giant fuck you to white males.
It's a token nod from the wealthiest corporations and stockholders to all of the people whose hard work and labor was exploited in order to make them billionaires! Here, have a Federal Holiday and a paid day off that you can wrap around a weekend and make the most of the few vacation days you have left!! Life's a beach! LOL
On the bright side, it means all the asshole tourists go home and we get our town back until the snowbirds come!
It is the end of summer. It is time to say goodbye to all my friends and go back to school. I feel like Dracula having to go back to his coffin
Are we condemning labor or celebrating it? I don't get how celebrate labor by refusing to labor?
It is nonetheless a time to remember that the value of our labor like everything else is proportional to the supply vs the demand. In an age of inflation and in which the Biden administration has imported 5-6 million more low skilled laborer willing able able to work for pennies.
The value of our labor has as such been much reduced for any such job, thus also reducing the great lot of Americans to ever more difficult paycheck to paycheck living. So we are indeed celebrating an ever-less rewarding act if you happen to have low skills.that, ill be laboring on that day lol
In the US, it's the unofficial end of summer.
Another day of work, but at least I get holiday pay.
It's a normal day to me since I'm not in the US. But I see that it's important to some people from there.
Usually I go up in the mountains and do some hiking.
The only job I've ever held that took off on labor day was the Army.
It's just another day to me.
It’s my sisters birthday that died last year and my friends Memorial that died yesterday so the day is absolutely not good for me.
Holidays are just another day of the week, to me.
I'm not sure what labor day is for. It's just another day that everything is closed and it's like having two Sundays in a row.Labor. day hense the name i believe was set aside for people who labor aka physical work,
But what I've noticed over my years on this earth the lower paying harder working blue clolar workers still gotta get up and go to work
And the higher paying white collar workers aka your boss who dont do the hard labor anymore get the day off with pay,
Kinda backwards if you ask me
So it means absolutely nothing to me anymore just another slap in the face by the man, big bother, the powers that beAs a Scotsman? Nothing.
But I suppose it being an American thing, crazies will find larger crowds to rob or shoot at...
Summer is over cause the next day, my teaching schedule picks up again 🤣
It means no work, and school starting. And American football season nothing exciting. But thanks
It means it’s my last day before I have to go back to work after a summer off.
Labor day means to me all the workers in the country get a Paid day off it has nothing to do with military services
