[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4101887, member: 35036"] Too expensive to let a guy work through the holidays and then just lay them off afterwards. Employees typically take the most time off during that time of year, it’s the slowest time of the year unless you’re in retail. Employees taking time off not only means that you’re short staffed, but that you have to pay more money for OT to cover the guys taking vacations. You have to pay holiday pay. Let somebody go just before thanksgiving, that’s at least 3 paid holidays and likely several days of vacation you don’t have to worry about paying for during the slowest time of the year. Plus you don’t have to worry about bonuses, more mouths to feed at corporate holiday parties, and starting a new calendar/tax year with an employee you’re about to write off anyways. Probably the shiddiest thing ever, but it’s the harsh reality of a profit driven system. I frankly hate working for corporations because of it, but I can’t deal with being in business for myself at the moment. [/QUOTE]
