Instead of getting rid of the Holiday, it should be changed to something else but still considered a federal holiday where workers get paid time off.

This is anecdotal, but at my current company and many of the companies I know of in my network, the move is to get rid of it as a federal holiday rather than to simply replace it. At my previous job we didn't have Columbus Day off but we did have a separate "Office Holiday" where the office was closed and people were encouraged to take time off. It was a Monday too, since Fridays are already laid back.

Workers unite, make sure the backlash against Columbus Day doesn't turn into one less paid holiday.

Other states have it recognized as Native American Heritage day or Indigenous People Day , but it isn't recognized as a federal holiday. Companies are going to shame you for wanting PTO this month since you already get holiday pay last month and holiday pay for Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years.

I have literally never heard anyone suggest we do away Columbus Day without in the same breath saying it should be replaced with Indigenous Peoples' Day or some other kind of similar holiday.

It may just be anecdotal but at my current job which I started a few months ago, they got rid of it without adding another one. At my previous job they gave us a different day off, but my previous job had a lot more millennials in management.

That's because the capitalist pigdogs whisper only in Proudclad's ears.

So you're blaming millennials... for not being entitled and not wanting more days off....?

That's a new one.

99% of the shit Proudclad rabbles about only exists in his purely anecdotal headcanon

That's in the works, It will be called Indigenous People's Day. I wouldn't mind a Viking Day either.
