No such thing as a holiday where I work. They did away with holiday pay and it's mandatory to work the day before, the day of, and the day after. I lucked out this year and so far don't have to work Christmas day. I do have to work Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, which are my normal days to work at least 12 hour shifts. Won't know how long of a shift till I get to work. I have to work mandatory overtime on the 26th and 27th. Have to be there at 3 am and possibly pull 16 hour shift both days. Several businesses around me have gone the same route.

Me too, except we get off Thursday at noon, company buys us BBQ lunch at Springcreek!
Then don't come back until the 2nd!
Day after Christmas it's back to the indoor house remodel. I can sorta see the end, but then again it's like painting the Golden Gate bridge, just means it's time to start over at the beginning...

After working 22 years at last factory job, often six days or nights in a row, 12 hr shifts, lots of holidays, and almost every sunday, vacations were much anticipated. What did irk me was getting off at 7 am and coming by the local stores about 7:30 and seeing all the local farmers still gathered up drinking coffee, and just generally shooting the bull, and many of them would tell me how I had it made, having an easy factory job in town.

Kansas ..... holy smokes, you must be cashing in with a lot of overtime. I hope they're not denying that to you. Holiday pay is mandatory up here, I think it is 4% minimum of your annual income (about two weeks per year).
Kansas, are you on a rotating shift? Some places use them to maintain 24 hour - 7 days a week production.
There are a lot of different rotating shifts, what ever can be imagined and agreed upon. One place runs four shifts of twelve hours each, two shift are day shifts 6AM to 6PM, two are night shift 6 PM to 6AM. Work days are four days on then 3 days off during one week followed by three days on then four days off the next week. Other places use two days on then three days off followed by three days on and two days off so people get every other weekend off. Local churches seem to complain about rotating shifts more than the people working them.

The place I work runs 2 12 hour shifts on Sat, Sun, and Mon. That way it runs constantly those days. They run 2 10 hour shifts on Tue, Wed, Thurs, and Fri. The hours vary depending on what area you work. I like the hours because it gives me a full paycheck and more time to work on the farm.
