Default Without fail EVERY Holiday, i have to work WTF

I kid you not every holiday something happens at work and i have to work the weekend fixing the problem, answering the quesiton, etc... I worked every major/minor holiday for the last few years... Easter, labor, memorial, mother's day, father's day, etc...

This weekend i have to answer a Govt Auditor's question... Freakin ridiculous...

I hear ya man. There was one year I almost got the 4th off. I was scheduled to have it off, and I was very excited because it was the first one I had off in 8 years. My boss decided to change around our days off on July 3rd, and I had to work. Now I just get used to it, and am thankful I don't get a hangover.

I hate working holidays/weekends, It is one of the things I like about being in a union..on a very lopsided list..The employer does NOT like paying 3x at my work as it gets real expensive...

Were closed most holidays... I get plenty of 3 day weekends which is a welcome change from how it used to be.

Workin too, but it will be double-time. I worked Easter, New Year's, Christmas, and Thanksgiving, and will again this year too, without a doubt. The only holiday I've had off in the last year was last Labor Day, and that was a coincidence: I took a four-day weekend for my anniversary.

im on call 24-7-365, you have good weeks and then you have BAD weeks lol, and do to the nature of my trade the holidays are always busy!

For example: two weeks ago my crew worked 9 days in a row and we pulled in 103 hours and which 70 hours of that was double time, but it was split up across 3 different pay periods...so we weren't completely bent over the chair by uncle sam
