(792 posts)Basically, when you know your boss has your back, cares about your work and you as a person, and lives in your neighborhood, you suck it up and help them out on a holiday.
When your boss is a corporate shithead that lives in a completely different city and makes edicts that effects the lives of thousands of employees from the comfort of their couch, you understand that you owe that shithead nothing, and when they _instruct_ you to show up on a holiday at the last minute, you say sure, and then blow them off and take another job because the market is great right now.
And you do it with a completely clear conscience because it was an obviously broken employment relationship.
And this is why I keep some frozen meats around to cook up in a pinch.
