Some companies are inventing holidays so that it's mandatory for fearful, anxious, sleep-deprived employees to take the day off and recharge

The University of South Carolina’s student newspaper went dark last month—not because of a school break or a homecoming weekend, but because the student journalists were burned out.

“We’re not OK,” the Daily Gamecock’s editorial staff wrote. “We haven’t been sleeping. We’ve forgotten to eat. We’ve been staring at screens for hours on end. Our negligence of our mental health has started to impact our physical health…We hope that you also take this time to recenter yourself and prioritize your mental health.”

I call bullshit. They probably make these days up so employees spend their free days. If not, they would accumulate. Causing problems later on. And well, requiring a bigger reserve on the balance sheet. Which companies don't like. That is the real reason.

My legal inheritance of Elena Cortez de Brun Estate of Puerto Vallarta object of many frauds, local, national, and international.

Picture this: I am going to take a day off because it is the birthday of my turkey. A turkey? yes. It is a pet I have at home.

If your culture is such that employees are scared to take time off then no number of mandatory 'mental health' days will help your organization.

Imagine big corporations trying to control their sheep.....uhhhh.......employees

I’m back with smile on my face again thanks to teddygrey3305 I don’t know what to say I was skeptical but I am proud to let the world know that you’re the reason behind my successful trades life!!🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless you for your good works

Our home has been the sweet my home since we had lived in a house.

Imagine running a business where you think your employees are doing you a favour by turning up to work. We wonder why zoomers are such useless deadbeats

An incredibly short-sighted decision. Think of the future moment you decide to take it away. They'll recharge; got that right.

Treating employees well and rewarding them financially satisfactorialy helps too.

I'm all in for the holiday we're now calling Thursday

Even companies are realising that an always working employee is not optimal

this is terrible news

What people don’t understand is that we just can’t stop work we have to work to live the only thing going to work is a vaccine to give to everybody in the world

Lets see Mexicans and MexicanAmericans do the most labor intensive work like concrete mowing lawns roofing gardening landscaping and gather and thank God for the harvest and no day off or help from Americans who want social justice

Figured that! I've seen companies where is almost a crime to take a day off and recharge. Also, I've seen companies who intended to work all year long, including federal holidays.

This is really sad
