The conservative people that run my job think they're funny or something. We get a the standard holidays off but if the 4th of July or whatever falls near a weekend they'll swap another holiday to make it a 4 day weekend.
The only holidays they "trade away" are MLK day and Juneteenth... Funny that.

Reminds me of this dipshit I saw in a Starbucks once wearing one of those anti-welfare t shirts. He spent a good 20 minutes bragging to this poor young woman working the counter about how hard of a worker he is and that people on welfare are parasites.
When she asked him what he did, he sheepishly responded that he did a few hours a week of per diem work at UPS. She just rolled her eyes and asked him if he needed anything in that "buy something or get fuck out" tone.
After he left, she started talking to another employee about how much of a tool he was. The other coworker responded that he pulls this goofy anti-welfare ranting shit to try and impress new girls and that he actually lives with his parents and collects state aid himself.
Company holidays mean you're lazy? Bro needs to get a grip.
Goodbye "friend"
Sounds like he's jealous that you are getting a day off and is trying to spin it as you being lazy

My brother, a right winger, brought his kids up to visit me last summer.
It was at the end of the week that he told me that I hardly work at all. I'm like: Yeah, I have fucking guests in my house. I was still at my desk when I wasn't trying to keep 2 teenaged girls entertained.
He moved his family 1000 miles away and 20 years later is lamenting that they have no relationship with the people he moved away from. (I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this lines up with the rise of "Family" talk from right wingers.) This same guy calls other people "Sheeple".
Sounds like him living 1,000 miles away is a good outcome.
Why is an adutl man concerned about how much another person works...
Also working hard is not a virtue, it is an indicator of poor management

I dont think it is specific to conservatives. People who define their identity through their political views tend to be like this, regardless of their political views.
I have experienced similiar behaviour with people who identified as leftists, anarchists, feminists as much as with people who identify as conservatives, liberals...
The annoying thing is, that you cannot respectfully disagree with them on anything anymore, because they perceive it as an attack on themselves directly.
Disown them immediately.
I am serious.
Nothing good will come of this. He us announcing his resentment of you and it WILL get worse.
There is no better measure of your worth to a conservative than how many hours you are willing to work in support of the 1% becoming even richer.

Religious conservatives are trained from childhood to unwaveringly believe things that can't be proven, and teaches that malice is the only acceptable way to get dopamine.
Yeah, conservatives like to randomly plug phrases of propaganda like unfunny inside jokes. Depending on my relationship with them I do one of the following.
- Ignore if I'm not that close. Maybe roll my eyes a bit.
- Push back on it if we're in the context of world events/news/politics.
- If we're close enough, re-direct the culture war bullshit interjections with interjections of class war. If your friend sees it fit to just randomly call society lazy, you can also randomly call the upper capitalist class lazy government-teat sucking hoarders.
Correct
It's a shame because if Conservatives would just look at who they're supporting for five seconds, instead of going "He's not a filthy librul." they'd realize they stole the Ivory Tower from themselves.
The assertion that your friend is a harder worker might not ge true. I have had to work many holidays in retail because my job said I had to not because Im a harder worker.
I don't want to work lol
"I'd like to have time to start/spend with my family" -thats all you have to say. Too much work time collapses society.
