An employee's income should allow them to do what they want on their vacations. Of course, first of all, they should take vacations and not have their wages cut during these vacations.
Wages should not be cut during weekends or holidays determined by the workplace, and the person should work and live in better conditions. Providing an environment that allows a person to be committed to their job and enjoy their job is important for both the employee and the workplace.
You are right, because there are still many companies that cut their employees' salaries even though they are on vacation by taking leave which is actually their right. Even the cuts are unreasonable. I am talking about this because I experienced it myself, so that not long after that I finally decided to resign. Even from some experiences that I found from my friends, they are still required to work during the holidays. Companies usually package it with the word loyalty to their employees. But the problem is they can't do anything, because they still need a job.
If a company does the thing you have said above, of course, choosing to recing the right choice, but we must be prepared to look for other changes to continue to have income that can meet the needs we need.
When other people still choose to survive the companies that are for their employees to keep their work on the grounds of loyalty to the company where they work, of course they have their own reasons for them to find it difficult to find other jobs that can provide income for them so they have to keep doing work even though they are on holiday.
Or simply that we dont have any have much choice but to deal up with it or else you would be losing up your job and thats whats make it even more harder because we dont have choice because we do need money. Even if you do want to spend up some time with your family specially on a holiday season but since your boss telling you to work then there's nothing you can do but to deal up with it and work on it. I do agree into those points that some people are thankful on having these kind of duties because it do pays up even more. They dont prioritize family bodings and other similar stuffs as long they can be able to earn money then that what really counts. If you've been having the feeling that having that holiday season work or duty is too much for you then you are always free to find for another work on which it do suits out your time. Only a few would be doing so because finding a job is really that being that too hard and losing one isnt something that worth just because you dont like the work hours.
