Currently working an off cycle internship with a big corporation in their finance department. It’s 4Q close and my boss is insisting that I work Christmas Day even though no one else is. I want to spend this time with family... I’m still a teenager. I already know I dont want to come back to this company and I already secured an internship elsewhere for next summer.

Can’t tell if this is serious...
Don’t work on Christmas. Take the day off and enjoy it with your family. You’re not returning to that company and nobody else is working so there is nobody around to ‘impress.’ There is no reason you should be working Christmas in this case. I don’t see the benefit or why you would even consider that
This wasnt a troll post. but yeah I pretty much just said no. Thanks for the help!
I agree with that answer. Just surprised that someone would ask an Intern to work on a holiday.
wait, I had my annual review with my boss on friday, and he was OK with me taking the rest of the decade off. Like seriously, do you work in a non-christian country??? (I got a great review, for what it's worth.)
Nope in the U.S...
Quit. If you already have another internship secured, your boss can piss off. Just make sure to quit professionally.
