Re: Do you work the day after Thanksgiving?
How about I was given the option to work, and if I did I would earn time and a half here, on top of my normal wages (paid normally if I don't show up, and paid 2.5 X normal if I do show up)
I can come and go as I please that day, plan on doing a 10-2 shift, raking in $58/hour (pre-tax while I'm working). |

Re: Do you work the day after Thanksgiving?
Working for a consulting firm, I get paid for hours I bill, with a few exceptions (I do get 8 paid hours for Thursday). I checked "my boss sucks...", but I have no problem with this - I can work or not work - almost at my leisure - and I'm willing to forego some of the perks I had when I worked on a salary.

Re: Do you work the day after Thanksgiving?
Not only do I have to work the day after Thanksgiving but the CEO of the company who makes $50 million a year makes a point wander through the company (about 200 people) to make a list of the people who aren't in. He likes to call it "bed check day".

Re: Do you work the day after Thanksgiving?
I work, but only for half a day. The stock market is open for some unknown reason.

Re: Do you work the day after Thanksgiving?
I will be working - we're staffed 7x24 - 365 days a year.
To make up for that, we get 6 floating holidays we can take whenever - all in all, counting those, sick days, and a generous vacation time, I get 6 weeks off a year. So I can handle working Thanksgiving - I can't cook worth a damn and the office is buying us dinner anyways. Plus it's always real quiet in the NOC - both Thanksgiving and the day afterwards. RB |

Re: Do you work the day after Thanksgiving?
I work in the Theater buisness and Thanksgiving, the Friday after, and Christmas day are our busiest day. Haven't had any of those days off since 2001. I didn't get paid extra because Carmike Cinemas sucks a**. However this year I work at an independent theater and while we still will open for those days I get time and a half for Thanksgiving and Christmas. And I will be working both from open (11:30 AM to close (around 12:30 AM)

Re: Do you work the day after Thanksgiving?
I work in mutual fund accounting. Since the banks/markets will be open (at least on Weds.), we have to work. Maybe 10-20% of the staff are allowed out of the office on any given day. And those who are there have to cover others' work.

Is anything stopping you from using a personal day? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. My boss. Anybody who takes the day off does so without pay, thus sayeth the lord. Nevermind my countless hours of unpaid overtime and my 10 vacation days and 8 sick days remaining. |
