How many paid holidays does your company offer?

I know this is a minor gripe compared to the injustices a lot of people experience in their workplace, but my employer (medium size engineering firm if it matters) used to give us Christmas Eve and Christmas Day paid holiday. This year (and last) they’ve only given us 12/25. I’m miffed! Wondering if this is standard or not. Including 12/25, paid holidays for 2022 total 7. Edit 1: for comparison I mean in US Edit 2: this is just a paid holiday question, separate from PTO or sick time. I get 4 weeks of PTO (company doesn’t split PTO and sick).

Waste of time

I love when a person no shows and interview and the manager gets mad about it, but today when I was asked to show up 2 hours before the store opened to have an interview and the manager never showed up, I'm told to suck it up basically. You don't like people wasting your time, but you can waste my time, my gas, and my energy just to no show me. Lowkey pissed as this was a great opportunity and they still have yet to reach out to me to apologize or reschedule and idk if it's worth reaching out to them.

What do you guys do when there’s nothing to do

I work at a boxing shipment factory ( we make cardboard) and im all done with my tasks early and my boss says “ go look for something to do”. I don’t know what to do. I just cleaned up my station and now I’m scrolling Reddit and writing this post. Any advice ? Before I get scolded at for doing “nothing”

I got in trouble for doing something my boss said was ok

Short and sweet- I asked my boss if I could send an email asking coworkers not to video call me unannounced since we are working from home. Boss said that was totally fine. TELL ME WHY this morning I get “a talking to” for sending said email because one coworker told my boss's boss and she did not like it. Wouldn't that be my boss's problem? Ugh I'm tired of all this.
