Christmas Day sees 2.9% of the workforce at work
About 863,000 people were working on Christmas Day 2012 - 2.9% of the UK's total workforce - according to the most up-to-date figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
"Other groups, however, were no doubt taking a well-earned break after a very busy run-up to Christmas - for example, only 1% of sales and retail assistants and 1% of postal workers were in work that day."

Who's working xmas day?
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
