What are your views about working on holidays and weekends ?

i think working on weekends and holidays is a good idea, if you dont have anything else to do then you can spend your time earning some money.

i don't work anymore due to bad health. when i was working at a convenience stoe [it was a 2nd job] i had to work most holidays. didn't like to but needed the money the job brought in. you do what u have to do to pay the bills & raise kids by yourself.

Hi There! Right now, my rest days are always Saturday and Sunday since I am in a transition period in my new work. However, since we are 24/7 support, it requires me to work on holidays… In fact, I am in the office right now until 10 in the evening. I just hope that we will be able to go home on time to be with our loved ones… anyways, I don’t really like working on weekends… because for me weekends are for family and friends, you know, time for gimmicks… lolz… but I get used to it since I am working as a 24/7 helpdesk here… Goodluck! Thanks for the discussion! Happy New Year and Happy HOlidays! Cheers!

As a housewife I never get a day off.Inever get paid holidays,sick,or bank holidays either.You workers don't know you got it made.HA.HA.Come to think about it I never get paid.!!!!!!!

I don't like to work on holidays or weekends. I want to take rest on holidays and spend time with my family, also watching tv.

I enjoy working on weekends and holidays, because at this period of my life this is the most valuable way how I can spend my weekends and holidays. But in general: no, it should not be like this. People have to take a rest on weekends. And work during working days and hours. How about You? Have You worked on holidays? Do You still work in weekends? Is it good?

I don't like to work weekends. One of the reasons is because my husband is off on weekends and I enjoy spending time with him. Right now I am working a job that I am off of weekends. I try to find jobs when I am looking that leave my weekends free. Over the years I have worked on weekends on some of the jobs that I have had but even at that I have only worked jobs that I have every other weekend off. There are jobs that the weekends are a requirement to be able to work. Those are the jobs anymore that I stir away from.

Yes, I work on holidays and weekends. It's fine with me, but what I don't like is going home late because my shift ends at 10pm. I can't go out with my friends anymore, unlike before that my shift ends at 4pm. Now, after working, I just go home and feel really tired of doing anything else, I just sleep.

I think working on holidays and weekends is a shame really because I feel that time should be spent with family and friends.

I dont mind working on holidays. Our organization offers premium for working on holidays. The only downside is that you miss on important events (family reunion, etc) during holiday season.
