It's a human right to have thanksgiving night off?

Should everyone everywhere have thanksgiving night off?

Basically all businesses should shut down? Is that it?

no, of course not. But forcing them to work 20 hour days with no increase in pay and no matter what happens you can't call out. That's pretty shitty. I don't blame them for acting out when they are being abused.

How the **** do you know that they aren't getting an increase in pay?

They get overtime, moron.

They're not being remotely abused.

They should do a little research into history to see real worker's abuse.

it's okay dude, you are better than all of those worthless people. So you can chill knowing that.

I've always tried to understand other people's problems rather than just pointing and laughing at them without fully understanding. It's called kindness, it's rare in today's world.

I worked in management for a large retail corporation for 5 years and never heard about any hourly employee being forced to work a 20 hour day.

That's the basic reasoning behind black Friday....IMO if they want to start the sales thanksgiving day, start them at 11pm or midnight so people can spend the day with family and go to the store around 8pm to get the sale going.

The sale starts at 9PM at Target. So you figure they have to be there 1-2 hours before it opens (which could be less depending on how the store is setup). You're telling me that all day Thanksgiving until 7 PM isn't enough time? If it isn't....go get a ****ing different job.

If they don't have to be to the store until 7 or 8pm, they need to

and go to work. I was under the impression that they would have to be there much earlier.

Here is my question, though.

Does the store manager have to be there at the same time as the average Joe workers? I'm not talking about dept managers or mid level guys...does the store manager have to work that night?

A big sales day like that? I bet the store manager is there.

He SHOULD be if they are telling the average joes they have to be.

Oh you know they will make an appearance to stay in good with the district manager but I am sure any manager that is not a n00b won't be spending the whole shift there.

If I worked there and the store manager himself wouldn't at least show up for a couple hours, neither would I.

Store managers, to my understanding, don't get very many holidays off at all. They're there all the time.

And I think that's a pretty insensitive position to say that any worker who complains about working at 7 or 8 pm ON THANKSGIVING is suddenly forced to work those hours. I don't work in retail. I am thankful that I can eat a heavy dinner at a reasonable hour and get ****ed up on wine and booze with my family and friends.
