It's a crime to have your employees work a full day on the day before a major holiday.And, while we're on the subject, it should be a crime to have your employees work the day after a major holiday.
Let's face it. Unless you're in some sort of service industry, nobody is going to get any work done on the day before or after. Motivation is at a low. Holiday-related stress is at a high. C'mon, give us a break.
Here's what we say: Half-day before major holidays or before the weekend of a major holiday (Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, Memorial Day, New Year's Day). Full days off after those days for recovery purposes. Mandatory. For everyone in the ol' 9-to-5 office job.
That'll keep us from rioting. Thanks!

I make it a point to never shop or do business that's not ABSOLUTELY essential on holidays, because if no one actually went out to shop then those service workers wouldn't have to be there and could be at home with their families too. It's just my small part, but if we all did it... I'm with you. Give the people a break.
