Working the Holiday

[Looking4Seaglass]

Where I work, we are required to work the Eve and the Day of either Christmas or new years holiday....anyone else have that same policy?

I've worked where Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day are grouped and you must work 2 of the 4. Thanksgiving is strictly every other year - staff divided in half, if you work it one year you have it off the next.

I've also worked where there is little rhyme or reason to holiday scheduling, self-scheduling notwithstanding.
