Black Friday

[onehandsolo]

Tell them now that you will not be available that day. Trust me they will will forget about by the following Monday.

 

[bottomups]

Go ahead and take black Friday off. I am!

 

[Indecisi0n]

I'm sure they will understand.

 

[Brown_Star]

Hell yes---go for it----take the two weeks off before Christmas too.

Get the family shopping done!

Our center already has the paper up saying "EVERYONE IS WORKING BLACK FRIDAY - DO NOT ASK FOR THAT DAY OFF"

That's what sick days are for!

On vacation Thanksgiving week 2015, and 2016; retired before the next one.

I am also on vacation that week this year and plan to take it again next year. We don't pick our vacations until the first of the year, although anyone who wants an early vacation is advised to pick it now. I am having surgery the first of the year and will be taking all of January off (4 weeks) and will use my 5th week Thanksgiving week.

Good luck with your surgery.

Good luck with your surgery.

Thank you.

It's nothing major but it will require at least 3 weeks out of work.

Thank you.

Anytime a Doc slices into a person, it is major!
Hope you have a full recovery!

[HEFFERNAN]

Helpers weren't used on Black Friday last year in my building.
I can't see that changing next week.
Volume wasn't huge but took the sting out of the first day of peak Monday.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

WHAT?

My podiatrist said it was not work related and as such not covered by comp.

What does that have to do with when you get it done?

maybe you should treat this like training for retirement and stop posting.
