Just for the record, for about 20 yrs I worked every xmas eve, xmas day, new years eve and so on, used to work in a lot of hotels and quite a few years at Rarities in the Charles Hotel so being the jewwwwwwwww I would always work those days so someone else didn't have to.

I worked most of today, and Thursday and Friday. I'll probably put in some time this weekend as well since I have missed so much time taking care of Holly and then my dad without anyone saying a word.

The entire time I worked in the chip business, from about 89-95, I worked every holiday because that was the only time we could reasonably take down entire networks to replace equipment, perform upgrades, etc. Salaried, so no compensation beyond the knowledge that no one yelled at us for doing our jobs for a day or two.

I recall one 36 hour stretch from midnight Xmas eve until 6am on the 26th where my team changed out $18M worth of networking infrastructure (1993 dollars) across four countries. I am so glad that I did not have to pay that cell phone bill! Splicing cat-5 cables while wearing a class 1000 bunny suit (complete with air tanks) while suspended from 2 ropes from the ceiling hoist wasn't nearly as much fun as it sounds.

I feel for everyone who has to give up time with family and friends and am thankful that my time in that slot is past.

Re: So who has to work this week?
 
Our company is open Monday, Thursday and Friday this week, but they are doing work in our building so my organization is shut down for the week. I could work, but since I am the only one in my organization that can work from home they opted to have me not work as well. I would prefer to work to take my PTO for vacation.

I am working next week, except for the 1st (a holiday).
