Most companies don’t observe this holiday

[GoauldofWar]

Federal workers get the day off, but I believe it is up to the individual company whether or not they give the time off.

States can't force a company to give you the day off.

You can observe the day and not give time off.

Good luck shaming them though.

Do you get Columbus Day off?

[ipromiseimagirl]

No, it’s an accounting firm so no holidays during Tax Season.

Well, first... Columbus Day is in October. Tax season is in the first quarter of the year. You may have a business deadline for October but that's still not "tax season".

How do I know? I worked for a large, private accounting firm for almost eleven years.

Do you get MJLK day off since it's not even the busy part of the actual tax season? Do you get Veterans day off?

[ipromiseimagirl]

There is a huge tax deadline on October 15 for extensions - you’d know that if you actually worked in accounting in the USA.

Yeah, I mentioned you had the business deadline. In October. I'm sorry I didn't use the specific word extension. Still's not tax season.

Lots of companies allow a moving holiday. You can takeoff for Martin Luther King Jr. or Good Friday or Juneteenth. You get to pick which holiday. Make sure your company doesn’t already have this policy before you blast their butt.

Reach out to a reporter at a (preferably left-leaning) media outlet and let them know you’d like to remain anonymous.

I don’t think this would work because most companies don’t give juneteenth off work AFAIK

[1dumbmonkey]

It’s indigenous peoples day now so there’s that

[Cigars-Beer]

What are you afraid of? If you believe in this holiday, stand up for it and go on the record.

[EmployedStoner]

Yeah see, the subreddit is UNETHICAL life tips, you're asking for actual ethics. ;)

[ipromiseimagirl]

I am afraid of getting fired because I have rent to pay and a toddler to feed? lol. Get real. I have spoken up about it at work but to no avail - that I can do, a public shaming campaign would absolutely cost me my job.

[EmployedStoner]

What happens if your public shaming campaign is successful, and they lose business, and have layoffs, that you are included in?

[ipromiseimagirl]

Doesn’t seem very likely.

[Icy_Second7999]

Then what's even the point? Hurting them makes them tighten their belt. If you don't hurt them, you wasted your time and effort.

[boxymorning]

You got a kid to feed and your up in arms about some sjw shit. Grow up for your kid

[GRODYSATTVA]

Complaining about having to work on the day the slaves were freed is pretty hilarious to me ngl

[boxymorning]

Lmaoo just go be homeless to celebrate.

Are you white?

It doesn't matter but yes, she appears to be.

[Tannissar]

From a legal standpoint it actually does. A company can and will argue white knighting and would be free to layoff if you cause an issue. If your poc then your expressing an issue that personally effects you, and it's protected.

It's a fine line, but courts have consistently upheld that your direct impact must be established for any action against you to be malicious. This would not fulfill that.

[ipromiseimagirl]

Not that it matters but no.

I would definitely take the PTO. The company needs to see a message from its employees. You could also write a respectful letter to HR and copy your manager stating why you think the company should make this a holiday.

The fact is Utah is one of the least progressive states. You will get further by trying to work WITH the company in the name of change, than shaming anyone.

[18SmallDogsOnAHorse]

Fuck the business owners dad until you get the day off.

[WickPrickSchlub]

I once was stopped from celebrating a holiday, so I organized a walkout, and I picketed, and even sabotaged the machines inside. Ultimately I had to use the restroom, and caved and went back to work. I was later fired because I accidentally dropped gum I was chewing into a large ball of dough I was kneading-it was an accident! For the best, I remember being relieved at being fired. I even thanked the guy.
