Does Everyone Get Friday off after Thanksgiving??

[RockaFowler]

My company is giving us Black Friday off for the 2nd year in a row. I guess so we can all spend time with family and friends, but the office is open on Saturday. I work in a Call Center and it is open Monday through Saturday. It would be great if it was closed on Saturday for those people, too. Anyway, I thought I would try to see how many more people have the day off (with pay of course).

1. Yes our office will be closed

[Shell Beau]

2. We're always off!!

:woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

3. I do, as I use my floating holiday.

Pretty much everyone in the company does that.

[Love Bug]

4. Yep. We do at my company.

Need that day to recuperate from the massive overeating on Thursday... *burp*

5. I have off on friday...

but the employees in our stores have to work, which I don't really think is fair.

I think everyone should have a four day weekend for Thanksgiving.

I know it will never happen...

[progmom]

6. nope.

but i am using a vacation day.

[RockaFowler]

8. The people who have to work on Saturday

Are using a vacation day here at my office

[cmf]

7. I have always had it off

H has too (when he was not at sea), but his new company doesn't give it off. I always sat at home that day anyway, so I think I will just give the house a good cleaning.

10. Yeppers

[Cathyclysmic]

11. First time I've had Black Friday off in a long time.

Really looking forward to a four day weekend.

[WeRQ4U]

12. Yep

NOone is here this week at all. I'm all by myself until Wednesday. And then off until monday. It sucks here right now.

13. No, only the NYMEX market is closed the rest (for us) are open

I'm trying to find another broker to watch my "Book" so I can take the day off.

[RedCloud]

14. Yep. Even those folks at the sales events of the year.

That explains why each year millions of consumers return home crying,"We wanted to buy but nobody showed up to take our money."

[ComerPerro]

15. No, not as a paid day off. But I don't work on Fridays

[raptor_rider]

16. We do here

and it is paid off time too!!!

:bounce:

[sasquatch]

17. No, I think I've got to work Friday

[bikebloke]

18. Four day weekend for us.

So I'm excused from the Thursday and Friday deadlines. The folk in the UK office will have to shoulder them.

[LisaLynne]

19. I have Friday off ...

Although oddly enough, I might come in. It's the only time I have to do certain things, like reboot some of the servers and stuff.

[bigwillq]

20. I do this year

But that hasn't always been the case. I work at a daily newspaper.

[NMMNG]

21. I don't have Thanksgiving *or* Friday off

Due to the nature of my jobs (human services) staff are needed 7 days a week, 365 days a year . In fact, on holidays the clients stay home from their day programs, so more staff coverage is needed.
