Alit of it depends on who is preparing the schedule. I would suggest you give a notice in writing requesting every other holiday off. After Labor Day,... Thanksgiving and Christmas is the next major holidays. Put in your request now for later. People tend to respond differently when it’s in writing. Keep a copy of your request.  more

Sticking to rules and rights of your working environment does not deprive you your freedom and rights. You’re neither being disrespectful or refusing... to be a team player. You’re only helping all others count the cost. Choosing to have a family has its pros and cons. And your co-workers must be ready to face the challenges of being a family person and a worker. They shouldn’t suffer you to undue stress while they enjoy the beauty of having a family. You need to enjoy being single too. And never be coerced to get a family of your own prematurely  more

sorry about this dear, Start looking for another job as you pray to God to give you courage because you may choose to go to your managers or HR and... you end up getting fired before getting something else to do. This is total discrimination  more

Look at your policies and procedures manual. Suggest rotating so it's fair to all.

Thanks you know what you are being not married should not deprive your right as an employee it is your right to be off or go out for the holiday off.... As a mature person who knows what to do set your plans and how you would like to deal with them in days of your offs. show them that you are a person who deserve respect at work. Faithfully have time with the manager or human resource manager to share your fate more

Common joke at work places,it's about self entitlement not responsibility. Let them learn to balance between the so called families and work.

Dear Laura, time to start looking for another employer, who will treat you with respect.

Just tell them straight up. You’ll work your fair share of the holiday/weekends schedule just like everybody else but you’re done being railroaded.

This is blatant discrimination. Complain to HR or go staraight to a lawyer

You don't have to go through any acrobatics. You go to the h. R. Department and you tell them that you need rotation or you go to your managers.... Managers and everybody should be on a rotation period point blank.And you stick to your rotation.  more

Start having your plans fixed on those weekends, like a date with your girlfriend, visiting families, etc.

Just because you're single doesn't mean you don't have a family, and your time with them is just as important. Time off usually goes by seniority, but... speak up; it's hard. Tell your supervisor you don't mind working some holidays, but you would also like to spend holidays with loved ones. I was a manager. Making one person work all holidays is wrong, and you have every right to ask not to work them all. more

Learn to set boundaries.Draw the attention of authority concerned to your plight. Speak out.

You have to put your time in, we all did when we were younger and we didn't complain it was unfair because that is just how life is - when you are... new, you get the grunt work and the holidays/weekends. After you put in your time and "EARN" your way up (so many people don't understand the concept of you have to earn things, you are not just magically entitled to them) then you get the perks. It's only fair, you have to start somewhere, and people who worked with the company 10+ years and earned their way to their perks deserve to have weekends/holidays off. I know long-road truck drivers that are gone for 2 weeks at a time that have found time to start a family so just because you have to work weekends and holidays does not mean you will never be able to start a family. In fact, how will you support this family you want to start if you don't stick out a job to earn your way to get time off & perks?  more

That's a form a discrimination. You are being treated differently because you don't have a family if you have proof of this and you are looking to... change it then I would file a complaint with HR or even the EEOC if necessary more

Check your contract. But are you low man on totem pole? Like are you a new hire compared to others on your team? If so, I would say( only because all... jobs ive worked were like this) yes you do work the holidays. Especially if you dont have kids and the others do. I know that seems unfair as when I was younger I also thought that. But as I grew older and had my own kid, I understood that completely. Besides Holiday pay is great lol. But check your contract and talk to your supervisor and see what can be done about Holidays and maybe rotating holidays with all employees. As far as overtime pay, I would absolutely be talking to my boss about that, unless your contract states different in Washington state it's illegal not to pay overtime, but there are exceptions so you need to look at your contract and go from there. And you can make a family at anytime of day or night 😁 more

I would advise you to adhere to your contract and the company's policy regarding work on weekends and public holidays. This includes entitlements such... as overtime pay or additional leave days as compensation.

In any organization, all employees—regardless of age, race, religion, disability, or sexual orientation—should be treated equally and with respect.

Quite interesting! What yard stick does your current employer use to determine ones age? Kindly seek advice from any nearest Labor Union or Equal... Employment Commission in your country. This is forced labour more

That could be a form of discriminatory practice and a red flag about HR if they allow those kinds of practices to continue. Put your resume/cv out and... pray a new position will become available for you.  more
