Who has off tomarrow? (2 Viewers)

Inaugural Juneteenth bump

I got it off last year, when it became a holiday 

 

[The Gator]

I won't be working

 

[HellToupee]

I got it off last year

I forgot it started last year. First year for me

 

[flapgreen]

Yep. Thanks, government.

[Chris B.]

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.

 

[Osaurus]

I’m a consultant 

 

[SteevieG]

I get a floating holiday now because of it, but I'll save it for another time.

 

[TLEF316]

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.

This is the option I wish I had

Why not? A personal holiday should simply be any day you want off that isnt already a day off for everyone else.

That’s my take as well

In theory...sure.

Its just one of those weird policies that nobody has ever explained to me. I have trouble using all my PTO anyway (especially since they instituted a "Summer Friday" policy that essentially gibes me a bunch of free PTO if my desk allows) so I'm not complaining.

Not a big deal. I just think their intentions here were pretty thinly veiled and it looks bad.

 

[belljr]

I'm off but drove 2 hours for a 6 hour softball camp for my daughter....... 

 

[Chris B.]

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.

So selfish of you to not celebrate this glorious day. 

 

[DocHolliday]

Today is not a holiday at my company.  

 

[flapgreen]

Gotta think it isn't for anyone else, except for the government. 

 

[TheWalkmen]

Off until Jan 2nd.

 

[WDIK2]

Off until Jan 2nd.

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.

 

[coopersdad]

Physical office closed until 1/3. Everyone not PTO was told to WFH (which we do 3 days a week already).

I'm rolling into next year w/ 26 days of vacation and start to get 25/days a year from here on out (20+ years at company). Since I'm the only one (in a group of 7) that will be working, boss told me to "be available" until 11, and then take son (home from college) golfing on Wed/Thur/Fri in the afternoon. Supposed to be 66-70 (as opposed to 22 yesterday).

He didn't have to tell me twice. Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

 

[Osaurus]

Off until the 3rd. Nice to have time to get to a lot of projects around the house. Work really gets in the way.

 

[belljr]

Working all next week. Going to carry 10 days over to give me 30

 

[The Man With No Name]

Work nights into mornings (Post Office). Off tonight, volunteered to work last night and tomorrow night. Taking 3 straight off next Fri-Sat-Sun night.

Iconic thread in here. I laugh every time I see it.

But the question remains who is Tom Arrow? And why is he off?

I don't want to go back.

Based on the weather forecast I will be WFH tomorrow anyway.

 

[Corporation]

I found a neat way to get tomarrow off is to get covid. I'd rather be at work.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Happy Juneteenth everyone

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.

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.

At the beach this week

My first job out of college I had every Wednesday off. It was spectacular.

Got 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 it

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

It's a bank holiday, so yep.

 

[3 hour lunch]

Any day but Wednesday makes for an easy 4 day weekend, but I’ll take it. Gonna play 18 and maybe sleep in a little….

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Just remember to allow enough time for lunch.

 

[Gatorade]

Off every day ......... Retired.

Friiiiiiday Friiiiiiday gonna get down on Friiiiiiday

(I get the state holiday version)

[NutterButter]

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.

 

[Snoopy]

I am always off.

 

[Nugget]

We picked up three floating holidays this year - Good Friday, Easter Monday, Juneteenth. I'm working today and taking off July 5th instead.

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.

 

[Chris B.]

Working taday but it should be light.

 

[WVU Alum]

That’s racist.

 

[Instinctive]

We have it but you can float it. Nice to have an extra day off at the fourth of July that doesn't come out of PTO!
