Many people are nicely compensated for working in the sports media business on nights, weekends and holidays.
Working on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and your kids' birthdays is inconvenient.

More than 1,000 staff members at the CDC were laid off Friday, affecting units that respond to infectious-disease outbreaks, analyze science and health data to develop policy, and monitor the safety of employees.
Mass CDC cuts hit staff dealing with measles, Ebola and disease forecasting
Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.
