My company recognized the holiday this year. Nice day off in the middle of the week. Free the people!!
Do you get Juneteenth off of work?

Would have had it off regardless as dad has a scheduled eye doctor's appointment at UIHC tomorrow morning, but I ended up taking the whole week off for staycation. csb
Company recognized no-work holiday? No.
But personally have the day off? Yes.

Bro you don't flag day? It was literally last Friday you missed out
I don't own any flags.
Sure you're not talking about one of the gay days, this is June afterall
Nah flag day started way back in the day I believe Wilson was president so sometime in the teens. Wilson was racist as **** and gays weren't really an issue back then that I'm aware of but I'm guessing he didn't think too highly of them... certainly not enough to give them a holiday.
We have it off but our union mechanics are working which means we need to work. A bunch of us are just working today and then taking July 5 off. Swapping
Yes. I assume the only ppl who don’t either work at a racist company or work in retail or something that doesn’t get any holidays.
Most 9-5s have the day off. And those that don’t should be publicly shamed.

Nope but I keep pushing for it. We need more and more paid holidays in my book.
I do find it a bit weird which companies have it as a holiday. Seems like every bank is closed yet the university of Iowa and all of its equality still doesn’t recognize it as a paid holiday. Bigots.

No. We get the following holidays off a year. Christmas, Thanksgiving, the 4th, Memorial Day, and Labor day.
Take your two personal floating holidays they give you today and tomorrow and make it a grand celebration.
Last year my company changed from having Good Friday as a US holiday to having Juneteenth as a US holiday. It really makes no sense since most of our clients don't have Juneteenth as a holiday. So, our office people and administrators get a holiday, while the revenue producers are working.
It also makes little sense since it's in the middle of the week this year, and roughly 2 weeks between 2 other major holidays, and makes the period between holidays in the spring longer.

We get an 8 hr floating holiday that I use on New Years day, but we don't get NYE or NYD off.
Yes. It's one of the 11 paid holidays we get. I also have 31 days each year in PTO.
I guess I’ll let the company I work for know that @Hawki97 said I have two personal floating holidays coming my way.
Since you ranted about the U of I's holiday schedule I assumed you worked there. Sorry you're a working stiff broseph!
I made a comparison about banks and the university. I thought it was interesting that the banks have the day off and the university doesn’t. I hear about equality much more from the university than I do banks. Heck the iowa basketball team eve supported equality on the back of their jerseys for a few years. And no I’m not an iowa basketball player either.
I did some other research as well and I don’t see anything on the universities site saying anything about 2 floating holidays either. It just mentions 9 paid holidays and lists them.
