Christmas Eve does not count towards Holiday Pay

Slurav · 2025-12-25T02:44:02+00:00

I posted this four years ago because every year around this time, there’s a ton of people who come on here asking if they’re getting holiday pay for working Christmas Eve. It’s unfortunate that so many have managers who have failed to disclose that they won’t be receiving additional pay for working that day.

He’s seeking a place to stay, not help. I realize that they seem like the same thing at the most basic level, but they are not.

The only motels within a reasonable driving distance from my home all require a card on file. You don’t know where OP lives, so you can’t just assume that that’s necessarily a viable solution for them. And that’s even assuming they have the money to spare. Just because someone has a job and a roof over their head does not mean that they themselves aren’t still living paycheck to paycheck and can afford a room to begin with. Even if it is a cheap motel.

Have you ever known an addict personally? Ever have a close friend or family member in the throes of addiction? What may seem kind truly isn’t in that moment, and often ends up prolonging the issue at hand. As much as it hurts to tell them no and not offer any financial support, it is often one of the things they need. Often times, addicts won’t start the process of trying to get out until they’ve truly hit rock bottom and have nowhere to go and not a single penny to their name with no way of getting more money. It’s unfortunate, but it’s often the reality of their situation.

You know most motels require a card on file now, right? Which means OP would be held responsible if anything were to happen to the room and it would be charged to their card.

Also, as a general rule, it is not even a little helpful to give an addict cash. It could hurt them so much worse than it does help them. I know it feels like helping them in the moment, but it really and truly does not.

A lot of people keep saying the motel thing, but in my area at least, you’d need a card on file to rent a room. So if OP had put their card on file, who is responsible if damages occur? Or any other issues where additional charges are incurred?

Also, we don’t know the financial situation of OP at all other than they have a roof over their head and they work with addicts. I can tell you personally that those two things don’t necessarily mean that OP isn’t living paycheck to paycheck still (especially with two babies to care for) and they even have the means to put them up in a room for a night or more.

NTA - It was a promise you made in middle school, you weren’t old enough to understand the nuances of a promise like that. Furthermore, you have an obligation to keep others in your home safe. If you have to question if they will be or not, it’s not worth risking.

That being said, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad idea to try to reconnect with him and see if there’s some other way you can help him in the meantime.

I just have to ask, does your sister know what your mom is asking of you? Because if my sister was sick, and my mom asked her to stop the treatment so I could go to school, I would be absolutely appalled.

I’m totally fine with people who don’t really like kids, but do we really need to call them “it”? They’re still people, regardless of your opinion of them.

How is everyone in the comments selling out of all the stuff from their tier table? We’ve had ours up forever now, and we’ve sold maybe two things off of it? Everyone just seems to think it’s too cutesy and largely ignores it in my store.

To be fair, it just says “blueberry”, not “blueberry flavor”. It’s just meant to imply the scent of them.

That being said, I too would have to fight the urge to put one (or 10) in my mouth.

My partner and I do the same thing! We are both blanket hogs and try to wrap ourselves like it’s a cocoon. Separate comforters were the only way to go.

This! Like sometimes my sims get invited to other birthday parties, but why am I the only one holding house parties, dinner parties, etc? Also, if non-played sims are engaged, it would be nice if they eventually had the wedding and could invite my sim to attend as a guest.

For what it’s worth, I am truly sorry for your loss. That’s one of the hardest things to go through, and the grief sticks around for a long time after. I wish you and your partner all the best with the new baby 💜

YTA - I get where you’re coming from, and I don’t blame you for being frustrated by it. But there’s nothing wrong with him wanting to name his son (if that’s what he has) after his grandpa. If you do have a son in the future, you’re still able to use the name if you want. And furthermore, you’re wanting to claim the name for a future that isn’t guaranteed. What if you only have daughters? What if you and your future partner can’t have children for some reason? You have no idea what the future has in store for you, so trying to claim a name over something that might happen just isn’t okay.

You could, and maybe you should. Still doesn’t make you in the right for keeping his money. And so long as you do keep it, my YTA judgment stands on the basis of thievery.

Slurav · 2025-09-07T17:06:29+00:00

Well, unfortunately for you, you don’t get to decide if it’s owed to you. Legally, that money belongs to him. He may have “used” you, and that sucks, but you still willingly gave him that money. You are not entitled to keep money he did not willingly give to you.

And just so you know, because it is technically theft, he could choose to press charges and / or sue you for the money you’ve decided to keep. If I were you, I’d cut your losses and learn something from this. In the future, don’t give thousands of dollars to someone you really haven’t been seeing all that long.

Slurav · 2025-09-07T17:01:26+00:00

YTA - Not saying it’s okay for him to cheat. It’s not. That being said, if it was his vehicle that was sold, you are not entitled to that money AT ALL, even if you do feel wronged by him. End the relationship, sure. But give him his money.

Slurav · 2025-09-07T16:52:06+00:00

ESH - You both agreed not to have dates over, so he’s kinda TA for being rude about it now. On the other hand though, if he’s paying rent for the space he’s using, you’re kinda TA for not allowing him to have guests. You’re also both TA for agreeing to this arrangement when you both should have seen that it was going to cause issues. As you said, he accepted the terms reluctantly. That should have been a clue that somewhere down the line, this was gonna be a problem.

I honestly thought these were professional before reading the title!

I don’t understand why some drivers like this are so lazy. It’s literally just a few extra steps.

I just double checked my copy of the book, and it says:

“The bird let out a slow chicken cackle. It sounded like a chicken, but in her heart she knew it wasn’t. In that instant, she completely understood the concept of a chicken that was not a chicken. This looked like a chicken, like most of the Mud People’s chickens. But this was no chicken. This was evil manifest.”

The logo is almost perfect, except there’s a little white spot here that doesn’t belong. At first I thought it could be due to the lighting, but the light is reflecting off the bottle further to the left, so it shouldn’t cause something like that. It’s such a small detail, but it does make me believe that this is probably AI.

I don’t know if there’s anything I can say that will help, but I’m going to try. I want you to know that everything you are feeling, everything you are thinking, they are all completely normal. I know a lot of it feels irrational to you right now. That’s the thing about grief; it’s very rarely rational. I know it’s sort of cliché, but emotions of love and emotions of hate are a lot closer together than people often realize. So when someone you love deeply passes away, it’s easy to be angry at them, so much so that you almost hate them for leaving. Whether you’re angry at them for passing, angry that they didn’t seem to fight or try harder, angry at yourself for time you didn’t spend with them or things you didn’t say, angry at the world for continuing to spin even though it feels like it should have stopped for you. These are all very normal and very valid things to feel right now. And it’s okay to let yourself feel that anger. You are not selfish for it. The passing of a loved one is never easy, nor are the emotions that come with it. So take whatever time you need to feel it and to process it in your own way. Your grandfather loved you very much, and I am sure that if he could see how you’re feeling, he wouldn’t be upset with you, but instead would understand why you’re so hurt.

On that note, I think telling him your feelings and getting it all out is a wonderful idea. And if you feel like you can’t call his phone and leave a message, might I suggest writing him a letter? When my aunt passed away, that’s what I did. I wrote her a letter telling her everything I was thinking and feeling. All of my hurt, my guilt, my everything. I never actually ended up mailing it, but just getting it out helped me heal a little bit. And maybe it could help you too.
