Do you work the day after Thanksgiving?

[Supersetoy]

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).

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.

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".

I work, but only for half a day. The stock market is open for some unknown reason.

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.

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)

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?

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.
