Would you be in Favor of Standardizing Holidays to Certain Days of the Week?

Holidays should be on Monday or Friday. Nothing worse than a holiday like 4th of July falling on a Wednesday.

What would be worse is celebrating the 4th of July on the 2nd of July.

I would be ok with holidays falling on a Wednesday. Just take a couple vacation days and have a 5 day weekend. The worst is when the holiday is on a weekend and your ******* company doesn't give you an extra day off. I came across this a couple times but at least they pay holiday pay on top of your normal hours.

3 years later...It's happening!

Probably has no shot in hell, but I would be absolutely in favor of this specific change.

Would be nice to do that. Like the "old school" post said, not everyone works Monday to Friday 9-5, and I'm sure if other holidays were made to be Monday or Friday, it wouldn't be as special for others (if anything, you might see more companies abuse this by scheduling people's off days to be Monday or friday so they dont have to holiday pay them).

But something like Halloween where the most special part of it is for kids, it would be nice to change it. I'd prefer a Friday night so that the kids could still have their parties at school, and any fun jobs could have mini office Halloween party too. But then friday night where the kids can stay up later, they can go trick or treating.

Halloween isn’t a holiday anyway.
But I can get behind it being on a Saturday night.
Last Saturday of October.
The rest though??
Leave them be.
Once you start messing with dates and changing them, then the holiday “loses something”.
