If he shuts down the government over the wall then Trump can give them the day after Christmas off as well.
BTW retail sales people rarely get vacation days off for federal holidays they have to work because what will the federal employees do on federal holidays? They will probably (in most cases) go shopping.
Turn off your sarc filter and then turn it back on again.
Federal employees get 20 days of paid vacation per year after 3 years of service.
20 days is four entire work weeks off. Which is in addition to the 10 federally-recognized holidays I pointed out earlier, and adds up to two more full work weeks off. A total of 6 weeks of paid leave per year.
You think your federal employee friends can burn a vacation day on Christmas Eve?
Or if things are so great in the private sector, maybe your federal employee friends should consider a career change.
Hmmm?
I’m a contractor and we have to take leave even though our still gets paid for the day.
Do you really think much gets accomplished on Christmas eve? Heck, its government, not much gets accomplished on any given day, however, I think its a good move.
Please see my post 65. It applies to your comment as well.
So while there’s all this pearl clutching going on in the media and on the left about a partial government shutdown over the border wall, there’s going to be pretty much the equivalent on Christmas Eve and the world isn’t going to end.
New? If Christmas is a Tuesday, Monday is always off. If Thursday, friday is off. Its nice but not new.
I think Walmart and amazon workers will see that way before the federal government.
I believe so too. They have packages to deliver
Huh? Explain
I worked in the Federal government for 36 years and every time Christmas fell on a Tuesday we got Monday off and when it fell on Thursday, we’d get Friday off.
I’m good with it. I’m not working my guys on that day, either.
Of course, my guys actually earn their keep, and honestly deserve it.
Now in 2022 Christmas falls on a Sunday, so they will probably get off on Monday the 26th
The Germans celebrate always 2 Christmas days. December 25th is for the family and December 26th is for friends. Which means you visit friends, or you receive friends that visit you. They also celebrate 2 Easter holidays. Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. Why Easter Monday is celebrated I have no idea

What makes you think that was sarcasm?
One fewer day without busybodies.

For me, Christmas Eve is even better than Christmas Day itself. So having that day off is pretty important to me.
Likewise for me.
Christmas Eve dinner with the family, mass, and then double time and a half plus a PDO for working Christmas Day.
Cant beat it.
