The holiday sounds like a good thing, doesn't it? But recently the arrangements for the May Day holiday were released, but netizens were not so happy. May Day was supposed to be a happy time, but this year's holiday adjustments have upset people.
The five-day holiday sounds good, but in fact it is only one day off, and the rest have to be made up on weekends. This incident caused quite a stir on the Internet, and everyone was complaining, what the hell is going on?
This year's May Day holiday was supposed to be a long holiday to look forward to. The spring sunshine and warm breeze are a great time to travel. When the holiday arrangements were announced, it seemed to pour cold water on everyone. May Day was originally a laborer's holiday, which meant rest and relaxation, but this year's holiday adjustment is a bit confusing.
This year's May Day holiday, ostensibly, started on May 1 and lasted until May 5. These five days of vacation sounds like a lot, and people have already begun to plan where they are going to play. But after a closer look at the holiday arrangement, I found that it was not as beautiful as I imagined.
Two of the five days of vacation fall on weekends. After all, who doesn't like a weekend that can be turned into a long vacation? In order to piece together this long vacation, you have to go to work on the weekends of April 28 and May 11. This means that in fact, everyone only rests more on May Day, and the rest is exchanged for their own weekends.
No, the discussion on the internet is like a frying pan. Some people are asking, why do we have to take a holiday like this? Can't we have a normal holiday like before? Everyone is complaining, and I feel that this kind of holiday design is a bit picky. Some people say it's like playing a numbers game, nominally giving you five days off, when in fact you have to trade your own weekend, what's a good thing?
This kind of holiday design is quite tiring. I used to be able to rest at home on the weekend, but now I have to plan ahead and go to work on the weekend. This means that if you took a leave of absence some time ago, you may have to work overtime to make up for it.
This was not the case with the holidays when I was a child. I remember that at that time, May Day and National Day were closed for seven days in a row, and even when the farm was busy, there were seven days off, which was really happy at that time. Although the living conditions are better now, the holidays have become stingy, and they are not at all as generous as before.
In fact, the arrangement of this 515-day holiday is not completely unconsidered. You must know that such a long holiday also meets the needs of many people for holidays. The government has to take into account the operation of the economy, especially the growth of GDP, after all, taking too many days off in a row can be a challenge for some industries.
The dissatisfaction of netizens is still very high. One is the disappointment of disappointed expectations, and the other is the feeling that my weekend has been deprived. Everyone expressed their opinions on the Internet, some said that such a holiday arrangement was simply playing tricks, and some felt that since the holiday should be generous, otherwise they would simply not let it go.
It's not just about rest, it's about how to respect workers' rights. After all, the essence of May Day is to celebrate labor and celebrate the rights and interests of workers, not to make workers have to worry about the holidays.
There are also those who disagree. They feel that although the compensatory holiday is indeed a bit heartbreaking, at least there is still a holiday to take, which is good compared to those who can't take a holiday at all.
In some industries, especially in the service industry, during the traditional peak period of May Day, staff are often the busiest, and they may not even be able to guarantee a normal weekend off, let alone five days off in a row.
The idea that a holiday is good is not unreasonable. In modern society, everyone's work nature and lifestyle are different, and it is difficult to make holiday arrangements satisfactory for everyone. It's everyone's vital interest, especially for those who work hard, and the holidays are a precious time for them to relax and reunite with their families.
I remember that a long time ago, laborers did not have the right to rest at all, and they were as tired as donkeys every day, not even on Labor Day. Now, at least people are free to express their dissatisfaction with the holiday schedule online and look forward to their rights. This progress, although it may seem less obvious at times, is indeed happening step by step.
Overall, the adjustment of the May Day holiday has caused a lot of discussion. This discussion is not just about the days off, but also about the rights of workers, the progress of society, and how to find a balance between economic development and people's well-being.
