I'm sure most retail workers are, but what about office folks?
Our office is technically closed but a few of us are going in (time and 1/2) in the morning. If we didn't, (because our work is daily stuff), by Wednesday, we would have a mess on our hands!

[miiipilot]

I am, and yes I am on the retail side.

[DSB335d]

I volunteered to work but not sure yet as my supervisor's are lazy about posting schedules. I work for the government so we get 2.5X for working Christmas.

[991brothers]

yeah i am. the m3 doesnt pay for itself lol

[passing]

why not?

[MadDog]

Nope. I'm off from Dec. 21st until Jan. 8th.

[smmmurf]

yes, bond market is open

[MisterSkiMask]

Not this year, we normally work a half day (manufacturing) on Christmas eve, but it's not worth it on a Monday.

[Litos]

i'll be off from the 21st all the way to the 2nd...

[Pontrelli]

Are you asking me out?

[Malibu1]

Not me. Boeing shuts down from xmas through the new year. But I do not get all the holidays off that other people get throughout the year.

[Echo M3]

Yep. But just till 5

+1 but loosely speaking, many folks are out and liquidity is very thin.

yep. I'm doing cash positioning for a corporate, though. since we will still receive customer payments and pay suppliers on that day, I'll need to work a few hours in the morning to make sure things balance out

[amanda hor$t]

i'm always working

[JMX328]

My office is open until 1pm. Corporate said it's optional if we'd like to show up, though, as our positions, office, and location (skyscraper in San Fran) are not client-facing.

I'll be going in, though, as we're all planning on having a Christmas Eve party most of the day.

[JoeyO]

No. I worked very hard to obtain a career important enough that I can schedule my time around days off and I get paid enough where one measly day at 1.5 pay is of little significance to me. But I can understand those shirts at the Gap don't fold themselves and the drive thru at Burger King doesn't operate itself, so kudos to you folks who work on Christmas Eve. I could never do it, nor want to do it.

Company shutdown from December 21st, 2012 to January 3rd, 2013, and i also added hours to arrive back on the 9th of January. Shutdown days compensated with vacation hours and paid holidays combined...

[mccannable]

Yes, retail.

[Nate4641]

I work Christmas eve, christmas and the day after.

[kevinbahnz]

xmas eve and new years eve.... might close down on new years day so I can stay in bed and watch the twilight zone marathon.
