Default Working + federal holiday = fail

So I know I'm not thebonly person workig on a federal holiday. Yeah it's time and a half on my pay check.... But seriously it's a freaking holiday to remember those that have gave it all for our freedom. Me being a vet it's kinda of a important holiday to get together with army buddies and bs about our boys that didn't make it back.

I understand that most are off and it's a time to make money but damn can't companies show a little respect by giving the day off to remember what this days about. Just bugs the hell out of me that so many people have forgotten the real reason behind today.that it's just a day to go to the lak and drink and BBQ or do whatever....keep in mind what the day is really for


End rant

Want to share guys where your job is open today?

I'll start. I work a tmobile and they feel that closing an hour early today is good enough... No one is coming in today and I would rather have it off...

I'm an Engineer @ Samsung and the facility runs 24/7 365. If a holiday falls on a day you are "scheduled" you are SOL.
