No more "Monday Holidays" :S

i love holidays! ! ! it's only the time i can have a time for myself... being an student assistant is not easy... :) i like your opinion anyway... :*

I am sad that there are no more long weekends for me. I usually schedule vacations around that time. But looking at it from the national perspective, it would be more beneficial to the economy if we had less holidays. We still have a lot of daily paid workers, not to mention the effect on the business.

I actually am alright with this. With the holidays being maintained on their original dates, we really get to reflect on the actual day and not some day that has just been declared a non-working holiday. All holidays are suppose to be non-working anyway but, when you move their dates to another day just to make it more convenient, it loses its significance and most of us would just appreciate it as another day that we don't work, we get double pay if we do work, no classes in case the school does follow that routine and so on with those family activities that you could be part in when it is indeed a holiday.

Holiday economics is one of the good things GMA did actually. But if the new President would not want to follow that then that is his prerogative. I really don't mind. I do love holidays but it does not really matter what day is it for as long as I am given a holiday then that is fine. If not I can always file a vacation leave anyway.

You are not going to have long weekends anymore unless the holiday actually falls on the Monday? That’s a bummer! Here in Australia we do have some public Monday holidays throughout the year. Some holidays are made to fall on the Monday and the ones that fall on a Saturday or Sunday get moved to Monday. I take it this is a new political decision...I would not like it...

If only my work sched is not so abnormal, I would've appreciated GMA's long weekend scheme, too. However, my group works 24/7, and a lot of times we have to go to work on holidays. Not complaining though, since we get to have a premium bonus for this, and it's incredibly peaceful at work during those times. :)

hi LetranKnight that is somethingI get so upset about here in t he US as when a holiday is say on a friday or saturday they will shut down for the whole weekend and Monday.so if you need to buy something or go to your bank or doctor, well tough nougies as it is not going to happen. So a lot of times you end up in ER as you need to see your doctor on these holidays an d his office is closed. The ER is not too thrilled witht these three and four day holidays wither.

Good morning, dear.:) For me, I am not really affected because I just stay home with my kids and I'm not bothered by whatever time of the day or day of a week since I am having the same routine everyday. No vacation, no day off, no nothing.:( Though it could be sad that the only time we can spend with family and God is on a Sunday, but , we should at least look at the brighter side of the story.We will be able to accomplish more, that is, if we are seriously working, especially in government agencies. Am i being a hypocrite? Maybe, yes. Who doesn't want a long weekend? But, do we really need one when there are bills to settle down, mouths to feed, etc., etc. Have a safe Friday the 13th, day. By the way thank you for the friendship, Knight.:)

well, sacrifice it is. we can't do anything bout it. So maybe next year we will move on to strictly MONDAY HOLIDAYS. if you know what I mean. But this can be bad news to High school students.

yeah it's a Christians bible law sunday is holiday.

its the best decision because there is apossibility of helping the customers by changing the dates nd holidays as favourable o that it increaes the business supporters
