Interesting...our company has 1 floating holiday: Black Friday. In 2022, they are expanding the options to take that floating holiday.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Sep 29 '21, 05:36

Columbus Day, Juneteenth, Veterans Day, or the Friday after Thanksgiving...

employees get to take whichever of the quartet they want.

-ahem- Indigenous People's Day. Also, take them all. Fuck 'em. -- nm - Qale Sep 29, 07:38 1
- Heh, beat me to it. I'm not quite awake yet. -- nm - Meg Sep 29, 08:03
We match the NYSE holidays, so normally 9 per year, but next year because Jan 1 is a Saturday we only get 8 -- nm - decline Sep 29, 05:53 1
- Same. Wondering if we’ll get an additional floater for it. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 29, 06:18
Do you think they're doing that out of concern people will be job hunting for better perks? -- nm - Max Sep 29, 05:37 11
- Nah, we get 9 a year; and I think if they expand to include Juneteenth, they'd be pushed to observe other similar-level federal holidays imo. - Will Hunting Sep 29, 05:42 10
  - Yeah... they don't want to get into a "what about???" debate. So they say pick whichever one means the most to you. - Dano Sep 29, 06:07 3
    - I feel like they certainly can add another holiday they just don't want to. - Krusty Sep 29, 06:15 2
      - We have a mix of schedules. 5/8 is uncommon. 9/80 is common and 4/10’s is some jobs - Will Hunting Sep 29, 06:18 1
        
        That's not bad and the Fridays off is really nice. -- nm - Krusty Sep 29, 06:39
  - we get six. MD, LD, TG, NYD, ID and the day after thanksgiving. it feels very cheap until you consider we get a full week at xmas and 24 vacay days. -- nm - amanda jeans Sep 29, 05:55
  - You...only get 9 days off a year? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 29, 05:50 2
    - Yeah. I would like an option around April to break up the Presidents to Memorial slog but it’s fine. I get every other Friday off on a 9/80 schedule -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 29, 06:16 1
      - Not sure why to markets are still closed on Good Friday, but they are so we get it off. -- nm - znufrii Sep 29, 07:17
  - Oh no! They might have to give their staff 12 whole days off for the year! What will they do?!?!? -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 29, 05:43 1
    - srsly -- nm - mafic Sep 29, 06:18
