My agency announced two hour early dismissal for Christmas Eve and NYE before Obama signed the executive order. I bet they wish they could take back that early dismissal for NYE now.

I hope not. Our daycare closes when the gov't closes, but as a non-Fed, I still have to work. The last-minute announcements are killing me.

I don't think the OP is a Fed...she seems a little too clueless about the civil service. I think she's a non-fed who was just curious.

There's no word from the White House yet, but it's not very often that federal workers get an extra day off before or after New Year's Day.

Have they started a petition for this yet?

It has happened. The last time we got the Monday before Christmas, we also got the Monday before New Year's. I would say it's a possibility.

No, nor will any regular company. Entitled Feds FTW!

Maybe in 2014, if we are furloughed.

Nope, never happened and it won't happen. Sorry

not off- but I would expect an hour or 2 of early release.

No. Hasn't happened. Won't happen. Next question?

Why are you even asking this? Why on earth?

Has this ever happened?
