Any of y'all getting extended time off/getting a Christmas break from your job?

[Buckeye Fever]

I was at my previous job 6 yrs and every Christmas, I could count on us being shutdown for a couple weeks.

Been at my current gig almost 5 yrs and FINALLY get to have Christmas/New Year's shutdown.

A month ago, the supervisor asked me and this older white dude about working shutdown. He said he needed one of us to work. I knew the old white dude was gonna be like "I'll work!!!!!"

Glad it wasn't a brotha because neither one of us would've said we'll work


12 days of not having anything to do with this place

Winter's our busiest time of the year due to heating/hot water emergencies. I work with HVAC Techs and utility companies.​

I purposely don't book vacation days during the holidays because everyone else does.

Office is so quiet that I don't have any meetings so it's like a vacation anyway

I use my vacation days during the spring, summer wheen everyone else is working

Beginning of the year is usually slow for us. This year I didn't really work until February. But this year a senior person is trying to pull me up in rank so the work is OD. I'd imagine I can go straight into overtime when my vacation is over. Makes me not even want the promotion tbh!

 

[Insensitive]

Yup. Tis beautiful

 

[ba'al]

Yes.

 

[MoshpitMazi]

Only 2 days..

 

[Elim Garak]

I wish, we will get time off, but not extended time.

 

[Kurt off them percs]

I work holiday functions since I can charge extra. But this year, I'm gonna take the rest of December off.

 

[Zero]

I'm taking a whole week off.
