Right, the only real reason many places aren't closed during it is the same "holiday erosion" that lots of modern American workplaces have, if it's not one of the "major" holidays, then they generally prefer to just stay open and have everyone work.

Banks and federal employees are about the only ones who get to keep most holidays, every other employer generally just says "you're on your own" if it's not Thanksgiving or Christmas.

As a black woman working at a bank, it was very convenient for me! I got a paid day off to celebrate the holiday with my family. :3

I don't get any holidays off, except Thanksgiving, because I'm always off on Thursdays, lol.

Are you in the US? That seems like a breach of labor laws or something.

Yeah, we don't close for any holidays, lol.

24/7, 365 days for my workplace.

That’s fucked up. I’m sorry to hear that and I hope you can find a much better workplace.

Honestly, I don't really mind it too much, I just use vacation time if I do want a specific holiday off.

Certain businesses are pretty much always going to be open, because some people like to go out to eat or watch a movie or something on Christmas.
