1. Yeah. I don’t get holidays off unless I happen to be off that day normally.

2. Nope. They gave us a half day on Friday too and I’m looking forward to the long weekend.

3. No – it’s a holiday at my company.

4. No, our US offices are closed most federal holidays.

5. I’m not. I got laid off a few hours ago.

6. No, we’re off work that day. Gonna have a picnic with a group of friends.

7. Nope, I get most federal holidays off.

8. I’m a federal employee so I get Memorial Day off.

9. I have the day off, all the courts and insurance companies are closed so my job is basically useless on Memorial Day.

10. Yep, and I sell beer for a living, so I will hate every minute of my life that day.

11. No, I’m going to Poland

12. No.

    I work in education and my summer session starts mid June. Except for grading, I’m petty much on break.

13. Yes, by choice 2.5x pay to work or straight pay to stay home

14. no, I don’t have a job

15. There is a solid chance I am

16. No

17. I don’t think so, but I will do some work if I need to. I WFH so it’s not a big deal to me one way or another.

18. No, it’s one of the few holidays we get off. (Doctor’s office)

    The *real* hard workers (service industry) have to work. Good luck, friends, and may the customers be reasonable.

19. Yes. Animals still need fed and tended too.

20. Yup, I’ll be getting 8 hours paid due to the holiday. On top of whatever other hours I do will be double time, so there’s no way I’m going to pass that up.

21. No. This is the first time in years that I do not have to work.

22. I actually need to check our holiday schedule.

23. No, I’m not. I work in a school so we get all the holidays like that off. After that only 3 weeks til summer. Those are going to drag hard.

24. Nope

25. Nope. I’m a federal employee, I have the day off.

26. Yes. I’m a business owner so I gave my staff off and I’ll take care of the neccesseties myself.

27. Nope. In fact I am off Friday as well.

28. I work for the state, so no.

29. I’m on vacation, so I won’t be.

    But usually I do and I get paid double time so I love it.

30. No, because I have the week off scheduled for vacation.
    Normally I would work and get paid overtime for it.

31. Hell no

32. Nope

33. No

34. No, but only because I have Mondays off anyway

35. Nope. Everyone in my office has Monday off.

36. Yep. 3.5x pay, can’t turn that down

37. As a self employed person, I will gladly work if any clients want to schedule on that day, but most do not.

    It’s not the type of holiday that I spend with family, and I don’t know anyone who was killed during active duty in the military. It’s just another day to me.

    My city has an annual event at our military museum, but I never attend.

38. Yes, I’m an elder caregiver. Weekdays, weekends, and holidays hold no distinction.

39. Not officially. I’ll wind up using it to catch up on work work or housework anyway, though.
