Damn, there are a lot of upsetti comments over a shitpost.

As someone with a fake email job that used to work fast food, I didn't do aaasnnyytthhiinngg on Monday and enjoyed the hell out of it, for my past self's sake.

I was called a essential worker during COVID and had to work every single day but throughout COVID and all this time post-COVID I haven't gotten a single raise. How can my job be essential but not worth anything?

I got news for you buddy: our "fake email job" Tier One and Senior Technical Support agents were still sending emails and taking calls on Labor Day.

Someone had to because I work for an ISP and some of our customers rely on our service to call 911.

You can come back here and tell me their job is "fake" when you can explain how that's unimportant and when you've sat on a phone trying to help a 60 year old Boomer troubleshoot their internet when all they wanna do is chew you out.

And and I know it's "just a meme" but it's a shitty meme that's reinforcing all this "white collar; blue collar" bullshit to divide the Working Class while billionaires work to get rid of Labor Day altogether. Shame on you for perpetuating that.

I had my first Labor Day of in probably 15 years this year because I got a job working for a Native American tribe. Holiday off with pay? What is this witchcraft?

Labor Day is May 1st. There is no Labor Day in USA. It's "law and order day".

“Fake email job” meaning “unionised labour” - the whole point of labour day?

Lol "working class jobs"

You mean service industry jobs.

Are you really going to gatekeep Labor Day, op?

The warehouse I work at gets Labor Day off every year.

Then the week after they basically have the grill going for 5 days straight for Employee Appreciation Week.

It's pretty nice.

Sometimes.

Don't put workers against workers.

If you punch a clock to pay your bills, you're working class. Don't let them turn us against each other.

The slaughterhouse I work at had Labor Day off and then today they told us we're now gonna be working 6 days a week.

Ignoring factory and warehouse workers as per usual

This has to be the dumbest shit I've seen in a minute.

I wish it were like Christmas Day, where almost every business is ACTUALLY closed.

I don't celebrate, so this isn't nostalgia for Christmas magic or whatever.

I just like that it's a day that no matter what, for the most part, you're on your own. Forgot to buy groceries? Scrounge the cupboard. Forgot to fill the gas tank? You're staying home. Faucet leaking? Turn off the water, wash your hands in a different sink, call the plumber(or go to the hardware store) tomorrow. Ain't NOTHING getting done today.

It's the only day where the majority of people in areas where the holiday is celebrated, all agree that ain't nobody doing anything that day.

Granted there's lots of caveats. Some businesses are open by choice, some by necessity. I used to work at a nursing home, that's gotta stay open, me and a few coworkers would volunteer to take the holiday shifts.

These days I'm still blue collar, but I do have most big holidays off.

But if you thought some random gas station or grocery store was gonna be open so you can pop in on Christmas? No dice.

Why isn't labour Day that way?

Idk the factory shut down for the holiday, just like every factory I've ever worked in. Yeah I'm an intellectual laborer, but the folks on the floor doing manufacturing also got the day off

Americans will attack other workers for minor differences in lifestyle rather than attack their boss for failing to provide basic quality of life in exchange for full time work.

Just like the ruling class wants...

Just because our cage is slightly nicer and we get fed slightly better slop doesn't mean we're not in this together.

Most of us are sticking with you ... the real problem is the 1%

Anyone who works for a living is part of the working class and bullshit like this only strengthens capitals grip by pitting workers against workers.

I see no point in trying to pit us against each other. People with normal desk jobs aren't inherently the problem.

Yes, let’s pit workers against each other, very helpful
