I hate working on Sundays Why do we have to work on Sunday I feel it should be family time like years ago?

Who works on a Sunday? Do you hate as much as I?

[Darkfairie17]

I hated working Sundays and hope I never have to again! The type of work I did I was lucky to get a day off. And even when I did, I would always get bugged to come in. IMO Sundays are supposed to be a day of rest, whether you are religious or not, everyone deserves a break. We all work hard, I had to point out to my one religious friend that going out to eat on Sunday was still making someone else work. Because his family firmly believed Sunday was a day of rest and no one should work, so instead of making mom cook, they would go out to eat. They have since stopped doing that, I have no idea what they are doing now instead. But ya, I hear ya. Working on Sunday's sucks. Especially since no one really gets a break anymore.

We are beginning to get into a world that is open 24/7. I have no idea how older generations can call the younger one's lazy, sure some people are, but there are lazy one's in every generation. But the ones that do work, are often working longer, and during holidays. I know there were lots of times when I worked that I never saw my family. I almost had to work on Christmas eve a few years ago, but lucky for me they accidently gave it to me off, and I refused to come in. That might seem selfish to some people, but I had worked every holiday before, and every weekend, and also during the week. I figure I needed one day off.

I think that society needs to let people have breaks every now and then. I don't think it's selfish to want to spend time with your family at all.

[DianaDDreamer]

Thank you for your answer ; )

[dragongirl8711]

i haven't gone and read any of the other answers but I don't think that people should have to work Sundays unless they're police, fireman, and people who work in a hospital. unfortunately corporate business have had too much influence on people and have brainwashed everybody to spend their money because business owners are greedy people who have convinced you to give them money. family definitely used to be more valued than it is. I wish we could go back to that.

[DianaDDreamer]

agree : )

[KCSuzanne]

It should be set aside for family. However, I usually have to work because of the nature of my job. I’m religious so I always make sure I go to Church, but I still feel bad for working - mainly because it’s supposed to be set aside. Also, I just want to be able to relax on Sundays.

[DianaDDreamer]

Same here!

[theydidntnameme]

Yes working Sundays sucks. But with the way our world works now, if everyone stopped working Sunday the world would shut down. We had to start work on Thanksgiving this year because people needed to shop.. And Of all the days, Thanksgiving is one of the ultimate family days. So I don't have a solution for you (other then start colonizing a new planet with a new philosophy lol) but I feel your pain

[DianaDDreamer]

Do you really believe that if we shut down Sunday that would happen! ?

[theydidntnameme]

alot of things you do require people working on them. if the power goes out and there's nobody available to work then you have to wait until Monday for the electricians to get back to work to fix it. same thing if the internet stops working or there's a problem in the city's plumbing system. if your car breaks down and you need AAA to help you then you'd have to wait until Monday to get any help from them. you need emergency personnel (police, paramedics) to work Sundays too!

[DianaDDreamer]

LOL I see your point! LOL Stop being so SMART! lol jk! :D

[SXEPunk]

As someone who works on a lot of Sundays yes I hate it!

[DianaDDreamer]

Lol you feel my pian. XD

[SXEPunk]

What line of work are you in that you work Sundays? What hours?

[DianaDDreamer]

On Sundays a waitress from 10am-9pm :D lol

[Confused614]

No I definitely don't hate it as much as you. I work Thursday to Monday every week and evenings. So I can't really do anything on the weekends being that I don't get out of work till midnight. I also work any holidays that fall during my work week. Being that I am not considered a full time employee I don't receive any benefits including holidays pay. So I'm stuck working Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years and I don't even get paid extra for it. I'll work Sundays if you take my holidays :) lol

[BCRanger10]

Some businesses should be open on Sundays, but I still mostly agree with you. Unfortunately, family does not seem to be as valued as it was years ago.

[DianaDDreamer]

Yes thank you! :D

[Anonymous4Ever]

It depends on what other days I worked I suppose. So long as I have some down time each week, I'm OK with working on Sundays. But working 7 day weeks back to back can be exhausting. Try to have a good day Diana. Keep a positive attitude.

[DianaDDreamer]

Thanks I will try. =P

[Anonymous4Ever]

So I see your survived your day at work... How was it?

[DianaDDreamer]

Yeah I always do, but I didn't want to. Lol at least I made money! Lol

[westman74]

I hear where you are coming from... Someone needs a foot rub :)

[DianaDDreamer]

For sure ; )

[blackout_babe]

I was working today...I miss my good old lazy Sundays but hey at least we're getting paid.

[DianaDDreamer]

I always think that way but it's not cutting it ! You know! ? : )

[Kain6th]

I hate working on Sundays yes! lol I want to be lazy on that day!

[DianaDDreamer]

hahaha <3 you kain :D

[Finchie40]

I don’t work Sundays anymore , but I use to work Sundays and i remember I hated doing so , so I feel your pain. Me personally thinks work weeks should only be 3 days a week and 4 days off , I hate working 5 day work weeks with only 2 off , the 2 off isn’t enough time , it goes by way too fast

[THE_Godfather]

I liked working Sundays. We made time & a half. The longer it took the more I made.

[DianaDDreamer]

: ) ha ha I wish I got time and half! : )

[THE_Godfather]

One day you will make more then that.

[DianaDDreamer]

Thank you JB! : ) Mwah! : )

[THE_Godfather]

cool beans.

[jason311]

I had to work in Bank holiday last year as well. FML

[DianaDDreamer]

That's awful!

[jason311]

Thank you, lol. Hopefully not this year again!

[AllDay]

I get paid more on Sundays :)

If I keep working there, I'll soon get time and a half on Sundays. So I don't mind that much :)

[DianaDDreamer]

Ah well that's good! :D

[brunettebelle]

Yeah, I don't get it much either but it is nice to get more money :)

[DianaDDreamer]

I know your right its just not the same. Lol

[beer3]

I also hate working Sunday's but I want the money :/. Sundays should be for hangovers and puking from the night before.

[DianaDDreamer]

LOL

[MadameGrimaldi]

One day a week should be made for family. If you are working seven days that isn't good. If you had one day a week off, does it really matter the day? Unless, they are religious.

[Ugliness]

Yeah yeah yeah shut down the whole god damn planet because it's what YOU want.

No gas stations open. No convenience stores. No cops. No fire trucks. Nothing.

That's your idea. It's not for anyone to dictate a "family" date when all families are different.

If you don't like your job, step aside and let someone else take it.

[Red_Arrow]

If you would read LadyFilomena's answer, she said "If you had one day a week off, does it really matter the day?" Sounds like she was saying everybody should have a day (any day) that is set aside for family. So she is actually saying a person should not work seven days a week. Obviously this is something that needs to be addressed by each individual, and some people have financial needs that force them to work every day. She was not "dictating" any day off.

[Ugliness]

Legislating a "family" day is obsolete. Listen, toots, be glad you have a paying job at all. If you don't like it I guarantee there will be somebody glad to take it. Stop your complaining!

[MadameGrimaldi]

This girl works three jobs, goes to school, works on student projects and contributes finance to her family. I hardly think she is complaining :) I think she needs one day off.

[Ugliness]

Then she is over scheduling herself whether she works Sunday or not. She's set herself up for a losing battle. There can be such thing as being over worked.

[DianaDDreamer]

I'm not complaining I saying that all should just stop working a be with there family's. I think you don't know the meaning of work. Plus I live in your and I pay my own bills. You seem spoiled :/

[Ugliness]

Spoiled? No. Deprived. I would love to have a paying job. As it is I do get to be with my family seven days a week. Yes I do pay the bills around here. True I get a disability income but I would really love a job that was compatible with me. But it sounds to me like you take being employed for granted. That's the difference between us. I want to work more. You just want days off. You don't know how good you have it.

[DianaDDreamer]

Not at all it just not enough money I'm student a film student and I have make films outside of class also films take 5-6 hours a day to do about 5 pgs I have 5 films all about 25 pgs each so right now in school work and that 80 hours a week not to emanation post and pre post which is 2-3 hours a day! Now I tutor which I do with one student 2 hours everyday than Tiffen it's a place I intern at I work 15 hours a week there. This will help me out as back up! Then I waitress at a pizza shop

[DianaDDreamer]

20 hours. So I think I have a bit of a right to complian. And ps y do you care if I complian your not very nice!

[Ugliness]

I care if you complain because you have it so lucky. Some of us could only dream of having a job.

You, however, take it for granted.

[DianaDDreamer]

Believe me I don't! However others who don't have jobs there is a reason for that its because there LAZY! If you work hard and people see that you will get jobs. People don't try and they are lazy at there jobs. Any job I leave I aways may sure to leave on great terms so if I need a job I have one. I always follow up with them every few months. If you want a job you can get one. AND no job is beneath you. Money is money. And the young people or people in general no want to work at job beneath

[DianaDDreamer]

them. You take what you can get and keep looking for a better job. I know its not luck its how hard you work. SO don't tell me I'm lucky I worked my butt off to get where I am not luck. LAZY people say that word!

[Ugliness]

Luck is the word. You are lucky not to have been born with a disability that gets more debilitating as the years go by when people realizing this either won't give you the time of day or won't keep you despite your best efforts. On top of that you are lucky not to to live in the city that has been acknowledged as having the highest unemployment rate in its country making it so the so-cal;led able bodied can't find work and you sure can't. Yeah. You have no idea just how lucky you are.

[Ugliness]

Because it doesn't matter how hard working you are -- if the jobs themselves don't exist.

[cacapisu]

Right now I'm at work and it's Sunday, I can work more peacefully lol

[jokersgirl]

because when you're home with your family on Sunday and want chips and dip you're gonna ask "why isn't the store open?!?"

[DianaDDreamer]

Lol your cute ; )

[thekid9879]

I agree working on Sundays does isn t the most enjoyable thing and I think every one would prefer family time to strengthen bonds anyday...well at least I would

[AmberChick]

My day of rest is usually Saturday
