A lot of companies took away Columbus Day when they gave their employees Martin Luther King Day. As my supervisor said at the time, we lost a beautiful fall weekend and gained one in the coldest part of the winter.
Oh well, the skiers liked it.
My dad knew a guy who owned a machine shop.
One of his employees came to him to argue that they should be off on Good Friday.
The owner thought about it, and decided that he could afford the additional day off. But instead of designating Good Friday he put it to a vote.
Long story short, the plant is now closed each year on the first day of Pennsylvania deer season.
