[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember getting a job offer with all federal holidays and then during negotiation, realized that my bosses had forgotten to include Veterans Day, MLK day, and President's day since they didn't get them off work.  It wasn't intentional, they just forgot since they were just listing the holidays they had off.   I wonder if that is what happened here.

Off topic, unfortunately Veterans Day is a "lesser holiday" in the sense that many people, including my husband who served two tours in Iraq, do not get it off.  Same with MLK and Presidents Day.  I think some Fed holidays just aren't observed the same way.   [/quote]

15:47 here. It was definitely an intentional omission on the part of my bosses, that I failed to catch. All of the other federal holidays including MLK and Presidents Day are in my contract, and I specifically negotiated to exchange Columbus Day for the day following Thanksgiving. This is how I know we specifically discussed all federal holidays. I caught the absence of Veterans Day in the contract earlier this week, and brought it up. Turns out, it wasn't a mistake. I'm going to work that day because I signed the contract and not double checking was my own fault. But I am not happy that they quietly slipped that detail into the contract despite what we talked about. Its underhanded in a way I wouldn't have expected from them. [/quote]
