Honestly if you put together all the stuff the cops have recovered, the tin of white claw, the beans, the dragon dongs, you could probably have a real good time.

I don't have a better place to put this but my company decided yesterday that as part of our newfound commitment to racial justice we're gonna take tomorrow off: If you recognise this from your intranet then hey and don’t be weird in the breakroom or anything

2020 is going to be remembered as the year where above all else, corporations wrote a lot of emails about caring. We care about covid 19s effect on you. We care about Nineteenth. Do something? But we wrote the email...

Giving folks the day off to recognize the day is nice gesture isn't it? That has an actual cost to he company, more so than just an email saying hey we care.

It’s also a pretty big celebration for a lot of people. Imagine if your company made you work the 4th of July. It’s a nice gesture that recognizes that it’s a family holiday for a chunk of their workforce.

To be fair, I don't know of a better way to get people to acknowledge a holiday than giving them the day off work.

Yeah it's kinda the best move possible. Assuming it's a real paid holiday anyway. Really we could add so many good holidays to the calendar. Here in Canada Easter is still a holiday despite it being nominally a secular place, so lets get Eid al-Fitr going too. I'm sure other religions have cool feasting holidays we can get in the mix, and as a fun bonus it'll piss the chuds the gently caress off too.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

If it's coming as a new paid holiday that's fantastic, good on them, Juneteenth is a nice holiday. My corporate experience with these surprise holidays is they come from an "elective holiday" pool you've probably already used to schedule vacation because of the strange laws about paying out holiday time vs vacation time.Samuringa posted:I thought the joke was "were told of their freedom from bondage"

Okay apparently I'm way too cynical. I was just seeing it as "here's a way to say we're doing something that involves us doing nothing" but you guys have made good points. Thank you for being reasonable people with good points, weirdly enough.

My husband's small company gave them Juneteenth off this year with a request that it be spent, at least in part, in self-education and/or service. They included a list of topical Netflix suggestions. Normally this is absolutely a place that "plays company" like kids "play house" and fucks up more than they get right, so this was nice to see. Then again, they're located in a very liberal college town, so it's also not unthinkable that they'd do something like this. I'm not sure they employ any people of color--not any African-Americans, anyway, as far as my husband (who works remotely) has seen.
