Is your company giving you a holiday for Juneteenth?


Taking a casual survey to see which companies are giving their employees time off for Juneteenth, acknowledging it, or not mentioning it

If folks are open to it, name your company and whether they're doing any of the above

Yes - They also stopped acknowledging Father's Day.

I work remotely for an american company from outside the us and have no idea what juneteenth even is.

👤 legitster
It's a banking holiday. I have the day off and so does nearly everyone I know who works a white collar job.

At the software company I work at, there was some acknowledgement for it, but for the most part it's been completely overshadowed by Pride month.

Yes we have it off. NYC-headquarted company with office in SF.

If you need to convince management, the federal government recognized it as a holiday in 2021.

Big Tech firm - acknowledged it with a day of learning but no day off, which is not fun especially for parents whose kids' schools do close on Monday

In the spirit of the Juneteenth last Sunday, as a first generation Chinese immigrant from Mainland China, with firsthand experience and struggle with group identity and victimhood in both China and North America, I would like to share this great movie, "Uncle Tom", to remind us of what makes America America.

It gets mentioned and acknowledged, but it isn't a company holiday, though I'm allowed to take paid time off.
