Thanksgiving is roughly three days away at this point and I don’t know if I’m going to have to work on it.
In October, they changed our vacation time without exactly letting us know about it. Rather, we knew that it was going to change but it was supposed to be on Jan 1. Anyway, I set up to take some vacation at the end of the year, assuming that I had a certain amount of time off. My assumption may or may not have been erroneous, depending on whether the PTO time on my paycheck included Thanksgiving and Christmas or not.
In all honesty, it wouldn’t be the end of the world if I did have to work. Would be nice to know, though.
Yeah,I would think it’s pretty normal to want to know if you have to work in three days. Interesting that you have the type of job that can’t shut down?

I’m surprised most every office-type workplace doesn’t shut down on Thanksgiving. We’re off Thursday and Friday without blinking an eye… my wife’s office is even closing at noon today.
