I have Thanksgiving off, as its a federal holiday. What is odd is the “curtailment” day that follows.
On this Black Friday my workplace is closed. But I'm not paid for today. I either take my own annual leave, or take a pay cut for the day. Either way, I have no agency as a worker to make the choice to work or take time off. This lack of choice seems wrong to me. If my place of work is closing, either give me the day off or allow me to come in to work to get paid.
Has anyone else experienced this treatment on Black Friday?
