Does my father have the right to force me to do work I dislike during the holidays, especially since it is exhausting and causes me eye pain, and I dislike the people working there due to their bad manners, knowing that I use my holidays to memorize the Quran and pursue useful hobbies, and that our financial situation is comfortable?

A father may command his son in matters that do not involve a Shariah prohibition or harm, and the son must obey him within the bounds of what is reasonable. If the workplace does not affect your faith or chastity, then strive to obey your father. If you can discuss it with him and ask for permission regarding work and dedicate yourself to memorizing the Quran during the holiday, there is no objection.
