Record holidays!
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, we had only one day holiday in addition to the Eid day and another day as optional holiday. We had to apply for leave if we wanted to be away from work for more than two days.
The world is changing and moving faster now than before. But it seems Bangladesh is moving backwards in terms of office holidays. This year, all public offices including banks will remain closed for 9 days which is unimaginable in this competitive world. Businesses especially the garment sector (although with fewer holidays than public holidays) will surely be affected due to this very long vacation. Can our economy afford it?
