Christmas/New Year schedule?

Just curious as to how everyone's office or place of employment will be handling the week of X-Mas and New Years?

Working in the DoD, we'd usually get both holidays integrated into a 4 day weekend, but both fall on Wednesdy this year (and haven't since 2002 IIRC) so I'm not sure what'll be worked out.

I'm in the processing of starting a new job and haven't arrived on site yet so I'm not certain as to what my employer will be doing. Interested to hear how everyone else will work this out.

I get the 25th and January 1st off, yay?

My current employer is allowing the entire company to be shut down on next Wednesday (christmas) and that day ONLY. I fortunately am blessed to have the entire first half of that week off. Christmas eve and the day after Christmas are regular operational days.

New Years days are different. Over the past 3 years, my current company "promised" its employees New Years off, however its never been the case. Had to work new years last year and I wouldn't be surprised if the facility does it again for the 4th time in a row.

I'm off after Friday until January 2nd.

One of the many benefits of being in higher ed.

Don't know yet, will find out on Friday I think. We're technically closed all week next week, but we'll be manning the helpdesk...sort of. Check the voicemail and tickets every couple hours.

Hospitals never close AND we don't get holiday pay. Any holiday I work will be straight pay and any time I take will require the use of CTO hours...

Its my first year of working after graduating college. It just hit me I get no more week long X-mas breaks. Still, I'll gladly take this over no assignments, homeworks, due projects. I love working life

We get Xmas day and NY day off.
Usually sent home 2 hours early on the eves

Xmas day and New years day only at the place I just left. But it was also a travel biz, so being available during heavy loads is kind of important...

I like this!

I work shift work in a NOC, so my schedule will have me working both days. I know I get an extra eight hours of holiday pay for Christmas but I am not sure about New Years.

I'm a contractor, so I have the 25th off and the 1st off. Without pay, of course.

But I sat through an interview yesterday with a pretty interesting company, so I should hear back soon about possibly moving on to something better.

I love shift work. I really don't mind being in, and to be fair, two of the above shifts are overtime (1.5x!) I will be studying more or less every shift, I hope.

Most 9-5er's will be off though.

I'll be working 9 till 2 or 3 on Christmas Eve off Christmas Day and then I'm off for both NYE and NY.

Rest of company gets 24th 25th off, and dec 31 and jan 1 off paid. My team has to work but will be getting 2.5times pay for the day and probably will be sitting around doing nothing.

At my company we have the 24th, 25th, 31st, and 1st off. I still have some vacation to burn so my last day will be this Thursday, and I return on January 2nd. Plan on doing some studying during that time, but you know as well as I, that will be hard to do around the house.

Second that i also plan on studying while everyone else is busy relaxing.

OP: I am taking a leave this Friday(20/12/2013) until 07 Jan 2014 but the company will be open and only closes from 27/12/13 until 31/12/13

My company is off all of next week and the following week until Jan 2nd. I'll have a little bit of maintenance work to do during this time, but not much, a few hours at most.

Akaricloud

Seeing as we're 24/7/365 we're not able to do all that much. This year I told management I'd handle xmas eve and day(all shifts) so at least everyone else can make plans of their own.

We haven't quite figured out new years yet.

I'm off Tuesday through Friday next week and was off this past Monday.

Geek1969

The offices are closed on the 24th, 25th and 1st. I am using some vacation days and weekends to be off from 21st-29th.

Dakinggamer87

Working on 26th-28th off for Christmas Eve/Day, New Year's Eve/Day so I can spend time with family and friends.

I work in a hospital too, and Dec 24th, 25th, and Jan 1st are 1.5 time holiday pay. Only mandatory personnel work them. IT will be on call. You need a better hospital!

The thought has crossed my mind...

I have the most hectic schedule. Started vacation today. Going back Jan 7th

jibbajabba

24th is my last day - 25/26 are Bank Holidays here in the UK (paid) and the rest up until Jan 2 we are getting off for free.

aftereffector

Same as always for me! It's just another day over here. The only difference is the lines for food will be longer at lunch and dinner.

Business stays open 24/7 (including Christmas day) but I've got the week off (with remote assistance if required).

Somehow I'll be having a mini vacation till 13th of January because of the term break in the college.
