Oh it's not company vacation is optional...it's an 'optional holiday' as defined by the government, that he is making us take.


I've worked Christmas Eve every year here, and I think even a Remembrance Day once. Christmas Eve I believe is another 'optional' but I'm pretty sure Remembrance Day is a stat...

So maybe he fell and hit his head or something...



Wtf is Remembrance day? You making up fake holidays now?

Same thing as your Veterans Day (I think)

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

Except Veterans day is a real holiday. I know this because I get paid time in a half for working on that day. I don't get paid time and half for no Remembrance day...

You live in the wrong country then

I checked...they were both called "Armistice Day" at one point. You guys now call it Veterans Day, and the Commonwealth countries changed it to be called Remembrance Day.


Same deal here. Statutory Holiday. If you work you get paid extra, otherwise it's a mandatory holiday and I should have had it off.

So we properly renamed it and the rest of you freaks messed it up. Got it.

"Monday is not a stat holiday, but we are giving everyone the day as a bonus"

Confirmed!

You should send out a reply email to everyone with the following response:

I'm sorry that our boss is too lazy to come in on Monday. As an employee actually willing to work and dedicated to this company, I will be here.

I think we divided ours up between Veterans Day (for the living) and Memorial Day (for the dead).
