The way the public holidays fall this year make next week the one that's attractive to take off. Take three days of leave, get nine straight days off.

Just about everyone at work is still in the office this week, and just about everyone is taking next week off.

My office is closed for that week, and if you've worked here longer than two years you get thosr extra days off for free!

We were directed to take those 3 days off. Only essential support staff are allowed to work them.

I've got those 3 and then until the 15th off 😎🛳️

That's what I was thinking, so many folks in my office were working right up to the end this year because of what you mentioned.

nah, my work closes last friday before xmas, then reopens first monday after the NY week. So I'm off until the 8th anyway.

Not that it matters, everyone is just fuckin' around and getting paid for it this week anyway
