Why does everyone in this country need to feel special?The only people that should have Veterans Day off are Veterans. That is their day.
Because something makes us unique, and we want to be recognized for it!Why does everyone in this country need to feel special?
I got a "Participation" trophy at a NES meet. That made me feel special. I still have it.Because something makes us unique, and we want to be recognized for it!

They did this several years ago at the place I retired from. Someone reminded HR and Senior Management about this law and they backed off and change policy.I’m legit gonna save this and send it to my HR department if this poll doesn’t win, to see if we can get it off anyway. If not for the whole company, at least for Veterans. Appreciate you bringing this to my attention!
When did I say that everyone should have a day to feel special?Why does everyone in this country need to feel special?
No results yet, today was the last day of voting so I’m guessing I’ll get the news early next weekSo, by how many votes you were told Juneteenth won over veterans?
Any results yet?
Look at who gets Labor Day off: everyone who isn't actually front line labor.Why should someone that didn't serve feel special by getting a day off that they did nothing to earn?
When added, Juneteenth became one of our mandatory holidays along with MLK day. In principle I'd be OK with either one being mandatory but I think making both mandatory was over-stepping and MLK day is more meaningful to me. I really can't complain because we went from 10 to 12 paid holidays.Teachers were not happy when Juneteenth became a Federal holiday, it messes w/ their end of the school year and depending on when it falls and how many snow days that year.
I give all the Federal holidays, including Juneteenth plus the day after Thanksgiving. Depending on when 4th of July, Xmas & New Year fall I'll give the day before or after as well, if those fall on say a Tuesday or a Thursday.
You clearly haven’t met mine.I can’t imagine an employer not giving a veteran the day off with pay.

No permissions, so they must be limiting to your company somehow.Update: So the company figured out there was an issue with people voting multiple times, and they sent an updated link that only lets you vote once. Still doesn’t stop people from outside the company from voting though as far as I can tell? So if you can, please vote again! Microsoft Forms
Drats, well thanks for the support anyway, I’ll let y’all know how it works outNo permissions, so they must be limiting to your company somehow.
figures. if committee does not feel satisfied with results of the vote - vote results get declared cancelled and next vote will be held, until expected results are provided.Does your company do everything by committee like this?
