We don’t get religious holidays off, other than Christmas because it’s celebrated secularly too.

Definitely happening for the first time at my agency and not the EEOC. Bet the poster above is where I am and if not this is happening the same way in several places. Not a troll.

Troll. Never. Only Congress can grant a Federal holiday.

Which agencies? It’s weird you aren’t saying.


In the current climate, people want to remain under the radar.

It was EEOC. There’s a Politico story about it. Not sure why PP needed to be so secretive when the email went to the entire agency.

NP, well, Biden gave fed employees Christmas Eve off last year with relatively short notice. But I can’t imagine this admin giving extra holidays. They are probably trying to figure out which holidays to remove.


I was wondering during if they were going to remove Juneteenth.


Would need for Congress to do it.

No. Best we could hope for is putting off the RIFs until after Easter. But they are not so kind.

Never happened for me either until this year.
