Most of these guys are young and don't have kids. We had a couple of foreman and line men but most are just young regular arborists/laborers, especially the ones that traveled. The guys that are local just rotate, Christmas eve and half Christmas day and the other half was Christmas day and the 26th.

Also most of us who do sign up for winter ops don't care. I've done both plowing and tree cutting during holiday storms and nobody was making a sacrifice. Everyone was generally excited as the pay was too good to pass up. Again only a couple of guys who really wanted to go home and they did so after a few hours.

I kinda get why people think it's a huge sacrifice but again pay was good and anyone who was actually "sacrificing" actual bonding time with their families went homeπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
