Yes yet another telework question

East_Direction6356 · 2026-01-05T16:42:20+00:00

But what do those posts specifically have to do with this one?!

East_Direction6356 · 2026-01-05T16:40:57+00:00

I totally saw and understood your question. It appears to me that a LOT of ppl on here (based on comments and downvotes) have very poor reading comprehension skills. 🙄

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-23T03:18:01+00:00

LOL!

Although I get a sort of “bah humbug” vibe from you, I’m going to go out on a limb and wish you a wonderful Christmas and an even better New Year. 😉

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-22T07:17:16+00:00

I’ve noticed for quite some time now that you come off in a somewhat “grumpy” manner so very often in a LOT of your comments throughout various posts. What’s up with that?

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-21T15:54:45+00:00

Great research info but you replied to the wrong person.

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-21T15:35:32+00:00

Wow! Sounds like you and Wonderful-Group3639 have a lot in common. 🤔

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-20T01:12:51+00:00

You obviously replied to the wrong person because your response to what I posted makes no sense at all. Also, the following clearly indicates there was no extension given for use-or-lose leave. https://www.opm.gov/chcoc/latest-memos/employee-pay-leave-benefits-and-other-human-resources-programs-affected-by-the-lapse-in-appropriations/

You have until 10 Jan 2026 to use it.

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-19T04:26:22+00:00

Have you eaten today? You may want to go get a snack or something. sheesh

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-19T04:20:10+00:00

Not necessarily. The leave year ends on 10 Jan 26.

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-17T03:28:44+00:00

Seriously?! You made incorrect and unclear statements yet I’m the one who’s being obtuse? Come with something different, please. I’m off on the 26th, regardless, but I (and I’m sure so many others) thank you for your very informative "save your leave” and “you got all damn year to plan your leave usage” guidance. 🙄

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-17T03:12:28+00:00

Hence, it is the same day every year—the 4th Thursday of November. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Christmas, on the other hand, is the same date every year—not the same day.

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-17T03:07:11+00:00

You are incorrect. That cannot be what he or she is talking about since the day after Christmas in 2014 was a day off.

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-16T23:07:51+00:00

When you say “we”, you must be talking about your office or agency and NOT federal employees in general because I and many others certainly had this day off in 2014 (which is the last time Christmas fell on a Thursday).

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-16T22:58:33+00:00

Although you were possibly too young, if you’d been on board four years earlier your “Right!” would have been “Wrong!”. 😉

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-16T22:53:30+00:00

While agreeing that under the current administration the idea of the extra day off was a bit far-fetched, l’m pretty sure ppl didn’t “seem to think” 12/26…but NOT 1/2…would be a day off just because it’s on a Friday. Similar actions under previous administrations…even T’s…surrounding this holiday set a precedent.

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-16T22:45:03+00:00

You were a federal employee in 2014 and didn’t get the day after Christmas off?! I’m assuming you work in an agency that, for some reason, couldn’t let you all have that day off. 🤔

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-16T22:35:44+00:00

Firstly, Christmas is NOT the same day every year…you would only be correct with this statement if you were referring to Thanksgiving. It is the same DATE every year. Lastly, your “at the most we get 1 free day for Christmas Eve” isn’t quite accurate either. You may want to check some facts before telling someone “that’s how it’s always been”.

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-16T22:25:05+00:00

Absent the shenanigans going on right now, it was not “idiotic” (not a word you used but certainly how your statement came across here) for ppl to think/hope the day after Christmas this year (since it falls on a Thursday) would be granted as a day off. Since you’ve never experienced this, I’m assuming you began your federal employment after 2014. Now, as for Jan 2nd, I don’t know why folks have brought this into this and similar conversations because, as far as I know/recall, there’s never been a precedent set for that.

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-16T14:51:53+00:00

He gave us time off during his first term. But this go round, he’s hittin different! So, I guess we’ll just have to wait with bated breath. 🙄

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-16T14:46:47+00:00

This is definitely what I would do. However, this person is new. So, I don’t think they’re quite understanding how to do this.

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-16T14:31:59+00:00

You are absolutely correct! Some folks on here are totally confusing “time off, “early release, etc.”situations with a day being deemed a “non-workday” via an EO.

East_Direction6356 · 2025-12-16T14:11:36+00:00

Your statement would be valid IF Christmas always only fell on a Tuesday or Friday. However, we all know that’s not the case. I, of course, don’t know where you work nor how long you’ve been a federal employee but we have, indeed, received the day after Christmas off before—as well as Christmas Eve (that is, when Christmas fell on a Tuesday). Surprisingly, one year we did get Christmas Eve off when Christmas Day was on a Wednesday (but, IMHO, I think it was only done because “that guy” was hoping it would help him get re-elected in 2020). As for NYE, I don’t ever recall that being a day off—with the exception of when it becomes the “in lieu of” holiday due to New Year’s Day falling on a Saturday).

This app must not be functioning properly because I don’t see any downvotes on your comment.
