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!

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.

loveslongnails · Answer

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!

Anonymous · Answer

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.

peedy · Answer

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 be

Dargil · Answer

A day off from work, maybe.
Labor Day grew out of the trade union and labor movements. It was proposed in the 1880's. Like MLK Day and Juneteenth, it was put in effect to appease an important segment of the population and gives government employees another opportunity not to work.
