I actually have coworkers who were complaining about a day off, and saying "everybody's lazy, nobody wants to work anymore". Take the day off, and shut up!

    How old are they? I feel like old people have nothing other than their jobs. They never had many hobbies and they never had to raise their kids.

    I find its more often they need those hours to afford to live. Sometimes due to poor life choices like owning 5 dirtbikes that don't run and buying a 6th, but often its just due to how unfair the economy is to low income families.

    You mean Americans don't get paid on holidays?

    Sometimes they get paid more if they do come in, typically time and a half, so they feel like they are missing out if they don't. Sometimes is based on if they are full time or not. The same rhetoric is true for just regular weekends, my boss considers anyone who works less than 6 days a week unmotivated and lazy.
