Holiday: Midterm for workers

Do you know Nepal holds the record for the highest number of public holidays in the world, with a whopping 35 annually? I am sure workers in that country will be happy, but they have to work six days a week. Hello, I'm Fashtioluwa. Welcome to my blog.

There is one holiday I still do not fully understand as a worker, and that holiday is the Christmas holiday. The truth is that all workers are always looking forward to the general holidays because those are the only holidays that are given to workers; the rest of the days are meant for work or probably when they are on leave, which is the only time they also have to rest.

Now, let's talk about the Christmas holiday. I believe the holiday given for Christmas is never enough for workers. I don't know how common it is with other offices, but my previous office before I started working from home only gave their workers the 24th, 25th, and 26th as holidays, which meant they were to resume the 27th and continue their normal work. I don't agree with this holiday. I mean, it's the Savior's birthday, so why not give 2 weeks for the holiday? Or maybe that's too much; one week is okay for the holiday.

You know how students usually have a midterm break, both from junior high school to the university level, after they have studied for a long period of time.

Why can't that be included in our workplace? Forget the leave we get. I mean, a office that has a month known to the whole world as workers midterm. Each organization can choose the month or date for their own midterm or midwork day. I am sure many people can relate to what I am saying. Well, it's just my own opinion.

Never the less, I still can't get over the Christmas holiday, and why is it so short? Everyone is taking a long break during the December period; students are back home from the second week, and many educational institutes are rounding up, but workers are to resume on the 27th, and the only holiday for the new year that they have is only on the 1st of January, while on the 2nd they are to resume back to the office. I feel this is cheating on the workers. Capitalists really don't care much for their workers; the only thing they do to keep them working is give them a little incentive to keep their working morale high.

As a worker, I feel workers should have more free days that have been assigned to them—not a day workers day or normal general holiday, but a week to celebrate them and the impact they are making on the country's economy. These days should be set aside for them; a week or more should be fine to celebrate them.

Working on the date mentioned above While others are at home relaxing, it doesn't make sense. What will make more sense is having that holiday with other people and spending more time with family. The first week of January should be a week of holidays. period!.

Thanks for reading. Do have a great day.
