Getting ready for work, Happy Easter to me. Do you think more stores should be closed for Easter? I never understood why most places close for Christmas but are fine being opened on Easter.

I think there are a lot of unnecessary places that are open on Easter. I get places like groceries/some restaurants for a period of the day.

I think places should stay closed.

When I worked at Target, we were closed on Easter, but it was without pay.

Working retail means losing an entire day of pay can be pretty catastrophic when you are living paycheck to paycheck.

I would rather work and get a paycheck then sit at home with nothing to do and not enough money to pay rent.

I'm also not particularly comfortable with imposing Christian holidays on other people.

technically the government and religion should be separate so the only stores that close specifically for holidays should be locally owned

I feel like we should have national holidays where we are shutdown save for essential services.

Hello fine people,
I have a question. I am a GDS employee wishing to relocate to another country as EY country “x” employee. The plan to relocate to country x was already in motion, if not EY then another org. The EY partner from country x is very interested in having me join their team but not sure about my GDS partner because they will be losing billing and may not like it. Is there a way I can approach this with my leaders? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
