SHall see today if I get paid or not!

You sound like a dishonest, unreliable scamming person, whether this was MLK Monday or Inauguration Friday.

No, everyone does not have MLK day off, or Inauguration Day off, or Teacher Professional Days off, or Patriot's Day off, or their Birthday off, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Love how instead of checking the week before you just try to pull a fast one. Way to lose all credibility in your word. "My friend has off so I assume I did too." Are you like 8 yo?

Seriously? None of my non fed friends are off and my company doesn't give this day off. I would be so pissed if I was your mb and you clearly didn't read your contract and didn't show up and then called in sick when you clearly are not with no notice. That's just rude.

I worked.

Don't assume you have it off unless it is in your contract. communicate communicate communicate

Ds' nanny worked. I'm an RN so holidays don't really exist. Dh had to work as this isn't one of the Fed holidays he gets off. There are 3 Fed holidays he has to work and nanny knows it. Gets compensated accordingly and sometimes my schedule works out enough that she gets the day or half day off anyways.

It's not a paid holiday in my contract, and I usually work it (past 2 years with same family I have), but I asked to take it off unpaid and was told yes. So happy!! Really needed the 3 day weekend and got lots done at home.

No, I worked.

Yes I'm off its one of my holidays

No I am working we put the kids in sports daycamp. I work in the newsroom, no holidays off unless you ask weeks in advance.

And every cashier, fast food cook, and waiter is working too, what's your point?

I'm off but I wish I was working =/

No.

Its not, many have to work. Some people can use it as a floating holiday and take another day off.

I called around and some of my nanny friends are working today. I thought everyone has off today? Isn't it a major holiday?
