Rave: Getting Your Days Mixed Up

[Radbird]

My company only sets the major holidays in stone (NYD, Mem Day, 4th, Labor Day, TDay, Xmas) then gives us the rest as "optional holidays" to use whenever we want. It's like getting extra vacation days.

Interesting. So if you take them, they count as vacation days?

And what's included as an optional holiday? Obviously, MLK. What about Xmas Eve? Columbus Day (in your face, DAYTON!)? The Hamburglar's Birthday?

AT&T basically does the same thing. On top of the holidays you listed (we get the day after Thanksgiving though) we get 2 designated holidays and 2 floating holidays added to our vacation.

edit : You don't HAVE to take them on holiday days though, you can use them anytime.

There is a separate code for Optional Holiday. And just like carp said, we can use them anytime, so I usually use one for the day after Thanksgiving, and the other 5 I use to supplement vacations.

I love my job. 10 paid holidays; 5 personal days; 4 sick bonus days if you don't use a sick day for a year. Plus we can bank vacation days.

Monday is a holiday for me. I'm working and will probably use it Opening Day.

As much as I sometimes rag on AT&T on here I get ALOT of vacation considering my time here (almost 8 years).

I get 3 weeks vacation, 4 EWP (excused w/ pay days), 1 Designated Holiday (correction from my last post), and 2 Floating Holidays and an unpaid sick day.

So all in all a little over 4 weeks vacation.

My law firm doesn't have a holiday for MLK day. But there will be the viewing of a short documentary about Dr. King in the employee break room at lunch. Bring your own lunch.

An annual thing, no?

There's no better feeling than waking up late on Saturday morning and panicking, thinking you're late for work, then realizing: "Oh yeah...it's Saturday".

(or at least it used to be until I started working weekends)

Except when Friday is your Monday of the work week
