work just told us no time off for Christmas...

as in we get no holiday days. We all thought we'd get Monday the 26th off and we do not. 

I am extremely upset.

  • WTF! Isn't that against the law? It's the Observed Holiday since it falls on a Sunday. I'd be pissed!

    ditto!!

    isn't the rule when a holiday falls on a weekend you get closest weekday off?  so if on Sat you get off Fri and if on Sun you get off Mon?

    what BS?

  • We are a private company. There is no rule that I know of. No law. Holidays are apparently a privelege. 

     

    Last year we split the staff so there was someone here on Friday and Monday. They arent doing that this year. THey are offering double time. Im sorry I want my time with my family.

    I think Im going to cry.

  • I'm sorry, that's just lame. I don't know what you do for a living but I can't imagine that much is going to get accomplished on the 26th of December, nor will you be able to get a hold of other people that you may need to talk to do your job. This just seems bad for morale and not even good for productivity.

    That's very odd...I would at least think they'd offer you a floating holiday since Christmas falls on the weekend this year!

    Can they not give those who want time off a day on either side of the weekend and then those that WANT to work can get the double time? You'd think it'd be a money saver for them to do it that way...jerks!

    Im the assistant controller at a oil, HVAC company. We have on call people to deliver oil should customers run out, we have on- call people to fix things should they be broken. We cant draft anyone, banks are closed. We set gas prices but those will be set through the holiday weekend. There is no mail. Last year we split it up which worked out fine. Ugh. I am pretty upset.

  • We dont get a list in the beginning of each year, no. They have a list of holidays. All 6 of them or something. Not many. 

    We were going to go home but DH has to work a ton so we arent. My in-laws are coming.

    They are paying us double time so if I call in sick I do miss that. While yes, it is nice to be paid that. Id rather be off with everyone.  I may take off on Wednesday as DH is off that day so we can do something with his family. Its extremely frustrating.
