Target Employee Fights Black Friday Hours

This article I read about a employee that works at the store Target and is not happy with the fact that his boss is trying to make him work at midnight on black friday. He says that this shift will cut into his thanksgiving dinner. So he started a website to see how many people agree with the fact that working at midnight will cut into their holiday brake. On the website he got over 80,000 people to take his side on the protest. here is my opinion about working at midnight. First I think that opening at midnight is a good idea because they will get more costumers and more money. Also if you go to work early its more likely for you to get off early. But at the same time this will cut into your thanksgiving dinner and you spending time with your family. If I had to choose between working and staying home with my family I would most likely choose to work. The reason I would choose to work is not because I don't want to spend time with my family but because I will need the money to support my family and if you don't show up you will most likely get fired. Or instead of just not going to work you could call your boss and ask can you take off to spend time with your family he will most likely understand where your coming from and its a 50/50 chance of him saying yes.
