Let me preface this blog by saying I love my family. I love spending time with them, and I love that every December without much fanfare, I will see the majority of my extended family on either side of my family. However, it is realistic to ever hope that I'll have those coveted Christmas holiday's off?
My News Director, Stacey Woelfel (also RTDNA chairman) wrote a blog about working on the holidays, and it got me thinking... Besides the religious connotations, what else is holding holiday work back?
I'm a religious person, and try by best to honor the Holy Day's of Obligation (I'm Catholic), however, I believe we've reached a point in time where the notion of holiday's are becoming obsolete. I believe it was in the "olden days" where we saw the weeks of Christmas and New Year's, as ones someone would get off for work, not so much anymore. News or otherwise.
While those Christmas shifts are not the best things to work if you have to, but has anyone noticed the HUGE snow storm moving across the US? Top story in many mid-west news markets. According to my friend Blair Miller, Dallas was using quadrouple boxes to help illustrate its snow coverage.
And while I'll be the last person to harp on millennials, especially since I am one, I cannot believe there are people my age that would change careers because they don't get holiday's off. Take that back, I believe it, I just wish it wasn't true.
Can't wait to work my first holiday next year, and I will do it with pride
