Why I won't be spending money on Black Friday
My main complaint about Black Friday used to be that they jacked up the prices only to claim that this or that was on sale-even though the sale was the normal price of the item.
Now Black Friday has become even uglier than that. Retail workers are forced to either cut short or completely abandon their plans with their family. Meanwhile the high ups in the company get to enjoy their evening off.
This is a sad commentary on business, but even more so what the United States is becoming. We treat people like they are robots and in doing so become robots ourselves. We forget that this isn't even beneficial to business as unhappy burned out employees loose productivity over time. Just look at countries in Europe that give generous amounts of vacation time and the productivity those countries see verses in countries that give more limited vacation time.
But this is really, beyond the point;the point being unless your job involves saving lives you should have the day off to spend with family.
And given what Black Thanksgiving Friday has become I refuse to have any part in it.
