I just had lunch with a friend - he asked why I was working on a holiday. I had no honest clue what holiday he was talking about.

And now I remember why the mail hasn't been delivered yet...

Today is a paid holiday for my company as well.

 

[Clonefreeeek]

Working...I think mostly banks got today off they take advantage of every holiday they can.

Do you work for Tony Soprano?

2020 had the day off
2021 “day off” with no meetings but a series of ways to reflect like advocacy groups doing Zoom/Teams meetings, lectures from professors etc
2022 same as 2021
2023 nothing. Reflection/learnings are available and it was up to each manager to decide regarding time off. This was announced Friday at 6pm

what a total cop out by leadership to shove that on managers.

Current company gives MLK and President's Day but not today. However, my client that I'm 100% on has it off sooooooooooo I did the things I needed to do, prepped my performance review and now off to a serendipitously scheduled well child appt.

I thought Juneteenth was a Texas holiday. When did it become a federal holiday?

 

[Big Daddy Kang]

Day off. Day drinking with some guy named Huggy.

Two years ago. They had been trying since the 90's to make it one.

I'm sure it's because your employer is an evil racist pig. Or they're in the Mafia.

Yeah, a lot of places still only do Columbus or Presidents Days, you know, the ones celebrating old white dudes.

2021

My company added a floating holiday in 2021 and encouraged people to use it for June teeth if they would like. In 2022 and 2023 it became an official company holiday, plus they let us keep the floating day. Not a bad deal.

This puts us at 10 holidays. Since they seem to be coming up a lot in the thread, we do get MLK, but we do not get Columbus or President's.

True but when it’s signed into law 2 days before the holiday, its kinda hard to count the first one.

I'm starting to think everyone should get summers off.

Did you ask him why he went out to eat when the server should have had it off also?

I’ve found it confusing for people upset about working on a holiday because they wanted to do other things on that day, which would require other people to work on that day.
