|
Edited on Sun Feb-19-06 06:39 PM by ikojo
Where I work we get only the following days off this year
New Years Day Martin Luther King's birthday Memorial Day...and what a long stretch it is from MLK to Memorial Day! July 4 Labor Day Thanksgiving Day after Thanksgiving Christmas
That's it.

4. What made me do the poll was watching the news |
|
and hearing the weather guy say there would be no rush hour tomorrow. The media assume that everyone gets President's day off when it simply is not true. I know few people in corporate America who get that day off.

That's a pretty good list you've got there. Hubby gets off New Years, July 4, Labor Day sometimes, Thanksgiving and Christmas. That's it.

7. I think US workers get the fewest days off of workers |
|
in the industrialized world, that includes the fewest vacation days as well. I get three weeks but must be there 15 years before I get four weeks and that's it.

11. Gotta work, but plenty of days off otherwise |
|
I get the following holidays:
New years MLK Good Friday primary election day (when applicable) Memorial Day July 4 Labor Day general election day (when applicable) three days at Thanksgiving (can now take Monday and Tuesday as vacation and get the whole week off) 3-4 days at Christmas (can now take 3 days or so and be off from before Christmas till after new years)
So I'm not too bummed about not getting Presidents Day off.

13. I never work Mondays. |
|
I generally take Monday holidays on Tuesday, but Presidentiary Day isn't a holiday for us.
I'm talking off until Thursday, anyway.

But that's OK, I'm not particularly fond of the current President.
