When I was 18 I started right off working at UPS to help pay for school, then added in Best Buy. After about a year of it, I came to that conclusion PV just mentioned, and decided I was going to plan my life and career ahead so that I would never be forced to work for a large corporation like that once I got out of college. Since I turned 23 I've never had to work somewhere that the owner didn't know me personally, or I was the owner.

Playing Devil's Advocate
There are quite a few people that do not celebrate Halloween and do not very much appreciate the attention that it's given. It's NOT the most PC holiday to begin with. So all you need is one person to get their panties in a bunch over it and they do away with it because it's easier for them to defend why they don't do it as opposed to why they do. Personally I think if you have something against the holiday, stay away from it and let everyone else have thier fun. |

Well said Pitviper!
To Ladracul, do what you think you must do and complain. But honestly, it's just halloween. Some battles just aren't worth fighting. Dress up after work. If they were taking away your breaks, then that's worth fighting for. I do sympathize about your bad work situation. Bad management, low morale, dissatisfaction and all. It's not about halloween. I've been there. Corporations don't want humans, they want SLAVES! You won't be able to change their minds. Find a better job. I've become so jaded about work and corporations. My last 2 jobs were just awful. I loved what I did. But the boss was a psychopath. An inhuman cold blooded freak with a hyper personality disorder. This guy pissed everyone off. Staff and clients. Police were once involved because of his verbal abuse. He motivated or de-motivated you with yelling, threats, and abuse. Some day a worker will come in and blow the boss's brains out. I wish it gets better. I've yet to find my dream job. |

Ok...so this is my gripe: Christmas time would come, and our local radio station would go to the holiday format...we were never allowed to have music in the shop. I thought it was a safety issue..this is the real issue...the owner would come out and set a radio on the table so we could have the Christmas music..and then go back in his office.

Moot, for future reference.
He should have allowed the xmas music. That warm feeling people get over xmas, and it's music, are big incentives for people to crack their wallet. Or, perhaps he just didn't want to hear the exact same kind of music all the time. It isn't that I don't get some sort of holiday heart-warming hard-on when I hear xmas music, it's that the emotional viagra has warn off by the time I've heard it for the 800th time. j/k I knew it didn't look right... |

Yeah, it was an asshole thing to point out, but it's one of those things I see in type all the time where you just have to let some one know. Maybe it would have been better pointed out in a PM.
