It’s the “most wonderful time of the year”—but not for retail workers. While the holiday season is supposed to be filled with joy and relaxation, many retail workers find themselves working longer hours for elf-sized pay.
Companies like Target hire just enough seasonal staff to cover the basics—if that—then pile the extra work on their regular employees. Instead of festive cheer, workers are stressed and overworked, with little time or money to enjoy the holidays themselves. Many workers can’t even afford to buy presents from the same store they’re busting their backs for.
Looks like the holidays are only merry for the company, not the people doing all the work!
