Posted by AlM on Sun Dec 26 09:12:41 2004, in response to Re: No, It's the Liberal Secularists, posted by David of Broadway on Sat Dec 25 23:28:16 2004. Find me a single observant Jew who is happy that he has to use a vacation day for each of the Jewish holidays and is still required to take Christmas off, rather than being able to work on Christmas and save a vacation day for a vacation.Don't most companies have a few "personal days" that can be used for purposes such as religious observance? Also, the reason most people don't get the option of working on Christmas is not because it's a religious holiday, but because it's a day on which most ordinary commerce doesn't occur. Even the 14th Street YM/YWHA tend to have shorter hours on December 25th (when it doesn't fall on a Saturday, in which case of course they're closed) just because much of their clientele is off visiting family and isn't using the facilities. Nothing to do with religion; just a practical method of reducing costs when there's little business going on. In fact, they always have shorter hours on Sunday than on Monday through Thursday. Again, it's not because Sunday is a religious day, but because it's a day of lower business volume. |
