Is anyone working July 5th?

Have to work that day. State employee. Hoping that we get an email on wednesday saying the governor is closing offices. (or my state university president is.)

I work the 4th ( holiday pay, yay) but I’m off the 5th/6th/7th.

On a side note, please don’t call the Police about fireworks. Educate yourself about the difference between a gunshot and a firework. If you don’t know, google is your friend.

When its after midnight with continuous fireworks, I will be calling. Holiday or no, people need to work the next day even if you don't.

I'm tired of not having enough PTO---this country is so crappy about leave.

Get a fed job. They accrue lots of leave.

After 15 years

I’m at 16 years but I’ll be working. I have two elementary school kids so burned all my leave when they were born and it did take ages to build any back. I took two weeks in December, random days here and there this year, and plan two weeks over the summer (one in mid July and one in August) and I won’t have that many days left at that point. (We want to travel again for Thanksgiving.) I’m on a very fast paced project that’s left little time for the related administrative paperwork so I hope to catch up on that Friday.

+1. The next gen will have it better thankfully. It wasn’t that great until they changed policies.

I am. But everyone else on my team is taking off, so it should be a relatively chill and easy day.

I will work. I am an administrative level employee at a private school. I fully anticipate none of the leadership level 12 month employees will come in. We have trouble keeping admin level staff. Discrepancies like these help reveal why.

I'm working the 4th and the 5th.

Doesnt mean they get to use it!!!

Interesting. Every fed I know takes days whenever they want. Or they work from home on those days.

I am working and from the office tomorrow. I was off the last two weeks and have a lot to catch up on, so I will appreciate the quiet tomorrow.

I'm taking the day off!

My spouse is. Works for a large company headquartered in the EU. Spouse also works the day after Thanksgiving, but gets other days off we don’t normally get.

I'm working but I'm a freelance consultant. I have a meeting on Monday and it's either work today or work all weekend so I'm working today.
