gbeenie Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Luckily, Fridays are one of my most flexible days, so I can come in later if I desire (it doesn't hurt that I make the schedule!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2apples Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I work for the schools so we have that day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmiller Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 We "use" to have to request it off and either take our vacation time off or have it unpaid. But since sooo many people were wanting it off, mainly just to spend with family, they decided to give it to us paid. :) so its part of our holiday pay.

klm2433 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 My company is open BF (and Christmas Eve) so I use vacation days for both. Luckily, being the only woman in an IT dept full of men, it's common knowledge that I WILL NOT be in so don't even ask! Last year I swung by the office after shopping all my big stores first and dropped off a Christmas tree I picked up really cheap. They put up with me as I put up with them every other day of the year! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khall1971 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Luckily, it's a paid holiday for me this year. If it hadn't been, I would have requested it off about 8 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arf110106 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm a SAHM so no worries about having the day off. Plus DH works 4/10's so he automatically gets Friday off. He'll be home with baby while me and my best friend shop til we drop!!! So excited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crue2001 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I used to have off every year for black Friday...they just gave us Thanksgiving Day and the Friday afterwards. BUT this year, I don't have a job, so I guess I have Black Friday off and even Cyber Monday this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherbade Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Stay at home mom. I have threatened the life of my husband's boss if he makes my husband work. Last 13 years, he's had BF off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
