[quote=Anonymous]In other countries, schedules are so much more humane, both to coordinate with school schedules (our kids' schools are closed the week between Christmas and New Year's) and to accommodate reasonable holidays that people would take anyway (e.g. Friday after Thanksgiving). Last year, Christmas was on a Wednesday. That was the only day my office was closed. I had NO childcare on Tuesday (Christmas Eve), so I brought my child to work and was reprimanded even though there was NOTHIN' going on, and most people were out of the office (I had used up all my leave). Ditto the day after Christmas. I called in sick on Friday. I'm in the private sector, which you'd think could be more flexible. And if we complain about the stupidity of coming in just to come in, people say, "Be grateful you have a job." Bah, humbug. We can do better, America. Our children deserve it. [/quote]
