I actually have coworkers who were complaining about a day off, and saying “everybody’s lazy, nobody wants to work anymore”. Take the day off, and shut up!
I find its more often they need those hours to afford to live. Sometimes due to poor life choices like owning 5 dirtbikes that don’t run and buying a 6th, but often its just due to how unfair the economy is to low income families.
Thats very job dependent. Does the salesman in the UK make money if they dont make a sale? Does the construction worker make money if they didn’t build anything? The salaried folks sure get paid in the holidays.
Sometimes they get paid more if they do come in, typically time and a half, so they feel like they are missing out if they don’t. Sometimes is based on if they are full time or not. The same rhetoric is true for just regular weekends, my boss considers anyone who works less than 6 days a week unmotivated and lazy.
Tell those coworkers to pick up the slack and work on their day-off. Take the off time for you and others so the aggravted workers feel good and pat their backs.

How old are they? I feel like old people have nothing other than their jobs. They never had many hobbies and they never had to raise their kids.

You mean Americans don’t get paid on holidays?
