Some offices give employees time off during holidays, but others don't. Some even make employees come to work on Christmas Day or during other festive seasons.

For me, I don't think it's fair to make an employee work during holidays. I think it should be voluntary - if you want to come to work, you can, but if you don't, you can stay home and celebrate with your family and friends.

Giving employees official holidays during their festive seasons should be part of their benefit package. I say "their festive seasons" because Christians may want to celebrate Christmas, Muslims may want to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, and Hindus may want to celebrate Diwali.

This is also a way to promote diversity in the workplace. If Christians take Christmas off, Muslims and Hindus can work, and then when Muslims take Eid off, Christians and Hindus can work. This way, you can regulate your workforce and give employees the freedom to celebrate their holidays.

By doing this, you prioritize employees' satisfaction and well-being. This is why people don't leave jobs, they leave toxic work environments. When you make people feel comfortable and loved, they will stay, and it will increase productivity and mutual respect.

Closing offices during holidays for like two weeks might affect business revenue, but how much?

You've been working from January to December, you should have sustainable investments and is it worth making employees miss out on time with their families and friends? I don't think so.

But what do you think about making someone's work mandatory during holidays?

It's very hard to answer this question because it depends on the mood and someone's work ethic. I am workaholic, I love when I work and I also don't feel happy like a kid during holides. I feel more anhedonic, so it's not a big deal for me if my job asks me to work during holidays.
Overall, for the society, I think that it's good to give a day off to your employees during holidays because I believe that employees should be happy to be more productive and many people feel happy during holidies unlikely me Cheesy

This is the main reason I decided to be self employed. I dislike working for people. They tend to mistreat their workers which is kinda in human to me.

Being self-employed or being an athlete is the best thing. Nothing is amazing as when you do the job that you love and get decently paid for that. You can go out when you want, you can take day-off when you want, that's amazing feeling.
