Work gave us day after T'Day and Christmas Eve as extra days off...
EXTRA days off? Don't most people who work in offices get those as a matter of course? I know retail made a big deal out of Black Friday (up until this year, anyway), but I didn't think that was a thing for most white collar jobs, and around here everything but convenience stores and pharmacies are closed on Dec. 24th.
I haven't had either off. I do get the federal days that I haven't had in other jobs, like MLK.
We get the day after Thanksgiving off but our warehouse is open. We don't usually get Xmas eve off but we do get Dec 26th. We also get Good Friday off which still seems weird to me.
No changes to our holiday schedule for 2021. I am kind of looking forward to our annual Winter Party that is usually the Friday before MLK day not happening (I assume, they haven't actually said but it can't possibly happen as it usually does and if they want to do some sort of Zoom thing I am definitely not attending) because that always made the long weekend feel shorter.
I am fulfilling one of my least favorite roles, human mail merge. Bah.
Typically my job gives the day after Thanksgiving and a half-day for Christmas Eve. (But then we're off until after New Year's.)
I miss the weird inappropriateness of my old job giving us the National Day of Prayer off. (Actually, although I really like freelancing, I do miss paid time off in general.)
I’m off from the 19th all the way to the 4th. I only get paid for three of those days, though.
Christmas eve is usually a 6 hour day, I think, but that's not official policy it's just what generally happens.
We get the day after thanksgiving, and usually two days at Christmas, depends on what day of the week it lands, and likewise where other things like 4th of July land.
I usually get the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve off, as well as the 31st, but that’s academia for you.
I haven't heard whether I'm supposed to work after hours tonight and if so how late (or doing what, exactly). Although another department said there's something someone in my department could do after 7, so maybe that's a clue? My company supposedly highly values communication but we are not actually good at it.
