I'm getting the day off, although I would personally prefer having Presidents Day off instead. There's just too much of a gap between MLK Day and Memorial Day. Plus, we just had Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years all bunched together.

have you considered telling people to just stop hurting themselves and getting sick? maybe bring it up during the next quarterly meeting.

They gave us a new floating holiday this year, celebrating diversity. My racist brother is disgusted and refuses to partake, but I'm like "fuck yeah one less day I get to be a bitch for a corporation". Funny how it works.

they took away the day after thanksgiving and christmas eve for MLK and a floating holiday so we didn't really gain anything. Technically we gained a half a day because chirstmas eve was a half day, but they always switched it to a full day as a "thank you"

i never use all my pto anyway and even after covid ends my department will probably be remote 3 days where i play video games and answer emails and occasionally have a meeting

Good question. I will ask my boss just like the topic title says. Are we open Monday or did we stop caring about the BLM movement?

Amazon is so hostile to BLM they banned us from wearing more than 4 colors to prevent us from wearing rainbows, which could be construed as a political message, and that would be bad!
Not sure how floral patterns fit into that though...

Up until this year it's been a floating holiday, meaning we could take it off, but the office was still open, so you had to find coverage. This year it's an official day off.
