5 Games to Play While You Slack Off At Work Because You Have To Work On Labor Day
Labor Day is an important American holiday that celebrates the hard work of the American labor force by giving said American labor force a day off. Unless that labor force works a blue collar or customer service job that requires them to serve the public. In which case they will be working without a break and wondering, “What is the point of labor day if I still have to work?” and “What even is labor day?” or even “Can I sue my employer because they made me work on labor day?”
We don’t have the answers to any of those questions as we are just a humble gaming company who is also trapped in the cog of our capitalist society, but we do love sticking it to the man by playing party games on the clock!
So what should you do if you work a job that’s open on Labor Day? Plug in your laptop, grab your Switch, or hook your Xbox to the TV screen that’s supposed to show the customers the menu and play some Jackbox games!
