wiffleball 4,645 Posted March 20, 2008 YES! Just got the note 4:54 CST from our Corporate Office in Beverly Hills - Off at 1:00 tomorrow. This is typical for our corp office. It's only 3 there, so what do they care? Pretty much everybody in the eastern time zone is already home. They have no idea that they have a half-day tomorrow. I'm sure some of them would have liked to have even a little notice to arrange something. Still it's a nice treat, so I'm not complaining!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many places do not give MLK day off. Federal holidays often do not have a religious affiliation as part of the separation of Church and State. You indicated that "people with jobs" don't get the day off, when in reality, there are a lot of people with real jobs who get the day off AND there are lots of people with real jobs who don't get MLK day off. BTW - Columbus Day? Case closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Not everyone with a job has to work tomorrow. Read the focking thread. There are folks that get the day off as a holiday. You said, "uh, people with jobs...good friday is not recognized as a holiday, not even a friendly mention. i'd need to just take a vacation day if i wanted the day off." You said that it is not a holiday or even is mentioned. I asked about MLK day and you listed Federal holidays which are explicitly forbidden to be religious holidays. There are quite a few folks who get the day off who are gainfully employed. If some are fortunate enough to get that many holidays, then more power to them. I don't need to twist your words in order to convey anything. You do a fine job on your own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted March 21, 2008 We used to get Good Friday off. They swapped the day after Thanksgiving for Good Friday several years back. Seems like a valid trade to me, but some are calling it collusion. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
