HR hasn't told us we can leave early, but I'm taking a long lunch just BECAUSE I CAN. There will even be beer.

Not only do I have to work the 24th and the 31st, I'm also working the 1st, because my company has released a service pack that doesn't apply to three quarters of our customers and will wipe out their data if they don't carefully read the warnings. Just the thing you want to do to a company that's trying to shut down for Christmas.
"But we're buying you lunch!"
The only reason the company is buying us lunch is because they dont' want us to leave our desks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I was 40 minutes late for soul-sucking job. Need to leave at noon to get Gracie, have her pic taken with Santa, cuddle her for an hour, and come back to the soul suck to get my Action Items (this phrase means TPS Reports) completed.
Then go home, fetch headshots from Colin, bake more cookies, clean, shoot self in head.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have a sudden, inexplicable craving for blue cheese.

I'm supposed to work both the 24th and the 31st. I think I'm working from home of the 24th, if I have to work, I shall be in my PJ's thank you very much. Unfortunately I must appear in the office on the 31st. It is the start of the new monthly cycle and I need to kick a bunch of things into motion.
Today - I'm in the office doing close to nothing. I got the big things done and am considering skipping out early to go see Sweeney.

That's my new boss now.

I don't see getting the 24th off as a First Amendment issue, because Christmas is such a secular holiday and no one is getting any work done anyway. (I recognize that "not getting any work done" is not a First Amendment issue, but it's a reasonable business justification.) I think giving people Good Friday off is over the line. I know many an atheist who goes all out in terms of trees and Santas for Christmas, but Easter is really only a holiday for Christians and people who worship Marshmallow Peeps.
