Good Friday?

[goldstar]

Why would this be any different then any other day?

The world is not all Christian

Being an Eastern Orthodox Christian, Good Friday for me is on 04-18-08 this year. I probably won't get that day off either. My boss is a real hard *** !!!

why wouldnt we be.. just another friday

I voted, but since I'm the company, every day I don't work is a non-paid day off.

Me, too. Where's the "working without pay" option?

Surprised!

Surprised!

Surprised this post even lasted. The day equipment quits failing on "normal" holidays, will be a holiday in itself for me

 

[dbuckley]

Paid holiday; legal requirement.

If you want me to work today it has to be with my permission, at a minimum of time and a half and day off in lieu.

All the shops are shut, its peaceful bliss...

Tell that to the storm doors I had to replace today. A 12 pack and lunch suited me fine, but that was for my brother. Oh, that's right md, us nice guy's may be poor:wink: :smile:

I don't normally work on Good Friday, but when people have needs that need to be met I work. On monday I landed a tanning salon that was to open today. the original "electricians" messed up the job. We completed the electrical last night at 10PM after working on that job and all the other scheduled work for the week. My guys are getting nice checks next Friday.

To answer Iwire, It is Good Friday which makes it different than any other Friday to Christians. There was a time I can remember that no one worked on Good Friday except emergency persons. If you want to know why it is good well it is good because the Lord suffered and died for the sins of man and salvation was made complete. Have a happy Easter.

You're not getting paid to stay home.

That might explain the reasons why your boss does or does not want to make it a paid day off, even though we might have to work anyway. Thanks bikeindy, happy Easter to you.
