I work for a publicly traded company, who answers to their shareholders not the taxpayer and equating PD days to Christmas parties is a bit of a stretch as the two have nothing in common.

Seasonal employees are temporary employees usually doing a semi-skilled job for a season. So other than doing their seasonal task, they have no value to the company. I have no problem with them receiving training on how to operate a weedwacker. I do have a problem with them spending a day listing to some guy in a Cosby sweater going on about who moved whom's cheese.
