As reported by the Washington Post, hundreds of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees have received permission to skip work during the partial government shutdown due to financial hardship. Per a statement issued by union leaders on Tuesday, they expect absences to surge as part of a coordinated protest that could hamper the government’s ability to process taxpayer refunds on time.
It is estimated that the average adult will spend 90,000 hours of their lifetime at work. This does not include more than 50 hours spent after work checking emails, texts and handling emergencies. These long hours mean more work, less vacation time and more stress. With the amount of time that we spend at work, on and off the clock, wouldn’t it be nice to take a moment to breathe and relax…at work? Well, you’re in luck: Monday, January 28th is National Fun Day at Work!
