My work just announced a new holiday schedule. Starting next year we get 8 scheduled holidays and ONE new floating holiday. This floating holiday is to be used on presidents day or juneteenth or veterans day or memorial day. You only get one of those 4 day off.
This is kind of shitty but here is the worst part. For the other 3 days “the office will officially be closed and employs will work from home” and in a all hands meeting they said that we should not schedule any client meetings and set our auto email response to say that the office is closed.
The company wants to look like they are giving us more “holidays that represent our diverse team” but we are expected to work on most of those “new holidays” while making it look to the outside world that we aren't working.
TLDR: I have to work from home on 3 holidays instead of actually tanking them off.
