Working on Juneteenth?

[Mr Janny]

Just curious how different employers are handling the Juneteenth holiday. It's a full on holiday for my company. We're entirely closed. My wife's employer gave people an extra day of PTO, and the option to take it off, but the company is open.

Iowa State employees are working

I work for a defense contractor. When it was first announced, we got the day off because of the short notice. After, we either get a choice of Presidents’ Day or Juneteenth.

 

[ClonerJams]

I've had two different employers the past few years and both have given it off to employees.

 

[BCClone]

I’m at work.

We didn’t take the day off, but our only holidays are Xmas, Thanksgiving, New Year’s, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Memorial Day.

If we had a black employee, would reconsider.

And it’s not a city if Ames holiday. Garbage collection to resource recovery plant as usual.

Negative markets are closed. I’m closed.

We got an extra PTO day this year and it becomes a full blown holiday next year along with MLK Day, President's Day and Columbus/Indigenous Peoples/Insert Name Here October Holiday Day.

Ha, is that even a choice? A day off if the dead of winter or a day off in the summer?

I wish my employer would swap them. I work in IT for a giant healthcare system and we are all working today. Although, the CIO emailed out a PR piece on how important today is to the organization. . If it's important to us, then give us another Holiday to actually note the pain of centuries of slavery finally coming to an end in the U.S.! Don't bluster in an email....

We get 11 paid holidays including New Year's, MLK, President's Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas, and then two floating holidays that we can use on any day.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Working. We get the bare minimum of holidays off (Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day)

 

[Proton]

Off work and grateful.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

2020 had the day off
2021 “day off” with no meetings but a series of ways to reflect like advocacy groups doing Zoom/Teams meetings, lectures from professors etc
2022 same as 2021
2023 nothing. Reflection/learnings are available and it was up to each manager to decide regarding time off. This was announced Friday at 6pm

True, but living in the coast, the weather isn’t that bad.

For me, since we just had Memorial Day and July 4th is just around the corner, I don’t need another holiday between those. With that being said, the group I support mainly took today off, so I followed suit.

I work for a large financial and insurance institution, and we are open and working today.

Envious. We have eight paid holidays -- New Year's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day (and usually one day before or after). That's it.

We go to basically the same setup next year. Only difference is we're off December 26th and only get 1 floating day.
