'I can't tell you how much leeway they all gave me after that': Childless employee granted year of 'essential bliss' by HR after boss and co-worker bully him to give up his holiday break for employees with kids

It's the holiday season, and anyone who has a job knows that though it's the time of year to be merry, it is also the time of year to argue about who gets what days off. For example, in this Reddit story posted by u/Sirix_8472 in the comment section of a post about another worker trying to get their Thanksgiving shift swiped. This story is a little stickier, apparently. The commenter says he was getting bullied by his manager and a coworker because he didn't want to switch shifts with someone with kids. Apparently, this coworker wanted the holidays off to do family things, and felt entitled to it for that fact alone. However, the commenter is also someone's child and also wanted to do something special for the holidays, so he did not feel like this was fair simply because he didn't have children. HR got wind of this and ended up favoring on his side and the guy ended up getting hooked up for the next year he worked there. What do you think? Should employees with children be entitled to having holidays off, or is that just not fair?
