My boss definitely dresses like this, and it looks like it's not good news. Who else is working on Thanksgiving Day or the day after?

I am the boss who dresses like this, but maybe I'll be different and let our employees live a little

Unfortunately I just started working for a corporation, which is usually a hard pass for me.

I was at a small family owned business for 3 years. We got many 3 day weekends, 5 days for Thanksgiving and from 12/24 until 1/2 every year. At the lavish Christmas party we received an extra weeks pay, pay for the week we were closed and a generous bonus. You would think thi wouldn't be financially responsible for a business with 15 employees.

At this corporation which makes triple digit millions every year.
It's one day for each holiday. No bonuses.

Corporations exist for one reason. To make money for the shareholders.

Good luck keeping good employees then.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
