We have not had a raise in 3 years. He's just throwing us a bone.
Is today Saturday again?
Re: Extra Federal Holiday of Leave
argh, already had plenty of admin leave, early dismissals this fall/winter, holiday and/or bad weather related. Hard enough to keep up with heavy workload right now without more mandated time off. don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the admin leave on account of bad weather, but this christmas gifty kind is nice but aggravating at the same time. I'd rather get the raise or nothing. still trying to get use or lose worked into the schedule and used up too. argh.

Re: Extra Federal Holiday of Leave
Why is this a surprise? Someone might correct me but I can't remember the last time we didn't get the day after Christmas off when Christmas fell on a Thursday and Christmas Eve off when Christmas fell on a Tuesday. What surprised me was the half day off before Thanksgiving. Which I didn't get off because I had to work.
May the force be with us.
Re: Extra Federal Holiday of Leave
I can. And the first time it did happen it actually felt like Christmas!

Re: Extra Federal Holiday of Leave
We got a half day off before Thanksgiving? This year? That's the first I've heard about that. I guess I didn't get it.

Re: Extra Federal Holiday of Leave
Two hours of early release for us. You had to be working to get it, and not on any sort of leave, or regular day off.We got a half day off before Thanksgiving? This year? That's the first I've heard about that. I guess I didn't get it.

Re: Extra Federal Holiday of Leave
That explains it. We never get those early releases in our area. That does tend to create a bit of a problem for our guys in van pools because some of the other organizations do give their employees early releases. Didn't here anything about that this year, though. They must have made preemptive arrangements.

Re: Extra Federal Holiday of Leave
We only got 59 minutes the day before Thanksgiving. The same is going to be true on Christmas and New Years Eve, if you are working.

No day off for my organization - I'll work twice as hard to cover for ya
