I hate Holidays

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

I don't really care what private companies do. Federal, State and local government offices need to be open to serve the public as many days as possible. I see no reason for any more than the 4 or 5 I mentioned for those offices to be closed. And maybe even open Saturday in weeks there are holiday closings.

It is getting excessive. And takes days sometimes weeks to recover i.e. people calling in sick days before and after a holiday resulting in scheduling snags and missed production schedules only to get screwed up again with another approaching "holiday"...

That sounds more like a management problem than us having too many holidays.

I do agree government stuff should be more available. But also, the processes that require people to call/go to these offices need to be made more efficient to reduce the need for it altogether. Some stuff has gotten better like being able to renew certain things online, but it's still not as good as it should be.

This is one that should go away.
