Serge from BabkaToday in Montreal there are Easter marches, and governmental offices are closed Monday.
Thank goodness there's been this "secularism" law passed banning "religious displays" or wearing "religious items" in Quebec....
TerryB@serge Years ago my boss greeted my telling her I’d be off for the Yom K and RHash days by announcing she thought I should work Xmas day instead then. I told her if she wanted to open up for 1 day in the 2 week holiday I’d happily go in. Funny but she didn’t!
Wait, so she suggested you work Xmas, and then when you said yes, she didn't take you up on it?
I had a similar fight with a boss around 20 years ago... All my time was "PTO" - paid time off, so vacation + sick leave + holidays. They argued this was increased flexibility.
So when they announced the office would be closed on Christmas, I said that this should not come from my PTO since I didn't choose it. And they insisted it should since "No one will be in the office."
I told them that I didn't mind working alone- it would help me focus on some projects that needed focus. They then told me the building wouldn't have heat. I said "That's an OSHA issue" (ie this is an HSE problem).
They wouldn't budge. I wore a coat and came in.
