I am impressed and pretty proud of Spot right now!

I first heard of Juneteenth from the tv show Blackish - and as was pointed out on the show, it's pretty sad that this is not learned about in schools and given more reverence. Hopefully that is now changing.

Literally same

 

[BoxCutter]

Yep, everyone immediately checked their schedules. I'm not scheduled either.

It says "some team members may be eligible for taking the whole day off with paid" aka if you use your personal holiday pay and request it off 👍🏼

 

[Frontlanegirl]

I’m working!

 

[oath2order]

Why the fuck are y'all not paid time and a half the entire month because of LGBT pride.

Or throughout all of February because that's black history.

I only checked to see what day it was on the calendar lol and since I’m doing 10 days in a row I work that day too lol

Every month has some sort of designation. Time and a half year-round when?

I mean.

Yes.

I will be impressed when they pull police funding, actually make their managemnet respect and support team members, actually hire and NOT bully disabled people and LGBTQI. This is a pr move and nothing more. This does NOTHING to change how bad this company is and will become. Impress me with real change spot.

Also this shouldnt be gicen to just all people it should be given to POC only! Ya wanna make a statement spot do it right! White priveallge shouldnr be rewarded like this it erases the whole concept of juneteenth

You want them to discriminate based on race? I'm pretty sure that would be illegal.

Who is : “eligible to take the day off with full pay “ ?

question:
would you rather : 1. Paid day off OR 2. Paid time and a half to work

I'd rather call in tomorrow, work Friday and use 4 hours of vacation time to make myself whole. So that's what I'm going to do.

You are the BAKER of the bread ! Sick time for Thursday AND double time for Friday makes a nice check.

Kudos to Mr. Cornell

It should be a federal holiday I think, but that won't happen with the guy in the White House.

Well, for me it's both, as my day job declared Juneteenth a company holiday, as well, and I have a shift on Friday. 😂

Tls.

 

[Meepers]

Tls.

This is what I'm thinking as well. As if they need a 7th paid holiday off.

Sucks I have this Friday off but..I'm looking forward to not being here for 2 days.

There are no etl or tl poc at my store....but yes...let them get the benefits of celebrating the end of slavery...including not having to actually work that day.

TLs and ETLs don’t just get to take the day off

 

[Meepers]

I didn't say they did. But if a tl isn't scheduled that day they'll still get paid..
