I got it off last year![]()
This is the option I wish I hadI get a floating holiday now because of it, but I'll save it for another time.
Why not? A personal holiday should simply be any day you want off that isnt already a day off for everyone else.So our company made it a "personal holiday" meaning you can take it if you want (need to confirm with management first) but they're not officially giving us the day off. And we happen to be right smack dab in arguably the busiest and most important 2-3 week stretch of our year, so anyone with any sort of responsibility is going to have a hard time taking off. (I really cant be the guy holding up progress on a major deal so I could celebrate Juneteenth)
If you dont take it, you can choose to take a different day as a "personal holiday" but I have no idea what other days even qualify. I assume post-super bowl Monday and the first day of the NCAA tournament dont count....
Just seems like they're trying to get the positive pub of "giving us the day" without actually giving us the day. Nearly everyone I've talked to is working anyway and my brother's company (same industry) is closed.
So...total L on this one.

OK, so apparently MS Office put Juneteenth (Observed) on my work calendar. However, my employer did not label taday as a day off. So I am sad to report that I don't haz taday off, but will watch TV on my computer anyway.I just checked my work calendar, I haz it off.
I'm probably going to watch TV on my computer all day so my wife doesn't ask me to do stuff.
So selfish of you to not celebrate this glorious day.So our company made it a "personal holiday" meaning you can take it if you want (need to confirm with management first) but they're not officially giving us the day off.

Today is not a holiday at my company.So selfish of you to not celebrate this glorious day.
Gotta think it isn't for anyone else, except for the government.Today is not a holiday at my company.
Off until the 3rd. Just the way the holidays fell at my company this year. 10 days off, but only using 3 days of PTO. We will only have 1 guy in the office next week because he has negative PTO.Off until Jan 2nd.
But the question remains who is Tom Arrow? And why is he off?Iconic thread in here. I laugh every time I see it.
I don't want to go back.Off until the 3rd. Just the way the holidays fell at my company this year. 10 days off, but only using 3 days of PTO. We will only have 1 guy in the office next week because he has negative PTO.Off until Jan 2nd.


That's an interesting way to look at it. Maybe there'll be some day baseball on TV or something. Otherwise I'm going to be quite bored.... but I'm sure I'll find something to do. Maybe a nice afternoon cocktail while watching some mindless TV.I took a random Wednesday off a few months ago because my PTO was about to max out (use it or lose it) and Wednesday just happened to be the only day that I didn't have any meetings. It was pretty great. It makes Tuesday feel like a Friday, and then you come back to work on Thursday with your weekend already queued up. Looking forward to having tomorrow off.

My first job out of college I had every Wednesday off. It was spectacular.I took a random Wednesday off a few months ago because my PTO was about to max out (use it or lose it) and Wednesday just happened to be the only day that I didn't have any meetings.

BidenGot an extra 3-hour early out today and I'm off tomorrow. Thanks, Obama
That's the joke you thank Obama for everything or a different president for whoever actually did itBidenGot an extra 3-hour early out today and I'm off tomorrow. Thanks, Obama
Just remember to allow enough time for lunch.Gonna play 18 and maybe sleep in a little….
We picked up three floating holidays this year - Good Friday, Easter Monday, Juneteenth. I'm working today and taking off July 5th instead.Had it last year but they switched it to a PTO day which I actually prefer. Now I just need to get them to switch the remainder of the holidays to PTO days.
Damn, I wasn't even getting two of those. Good for u. I'd much rather have the pto days to be used for vacas than just some random days throughout the year where i'll be doing nothing and are not ideal vacation times. I mean other than maybe christmas and thanksgiving, the rest have no other type of social obligation.We picked up three floating holidays this year - Good Friday, Easter Monday, Juneteenth.
