    In the past I worked for employers that gave holiday pay to the people who actually work on it and set the Monday as the paid holiday for management.

    I am seeing more and more of what I consider our patriotic holidays ignored or only marginally acknowledged and another date (usually a Monday) passed off as "observed".
    It disturbs me. How long before Thanksgiving is officially changed to the third Friday in November (rather than Thursday)? Last year my children had a "teachers work day" (no school) on Monday, November 10th and had to go to school on Veterans Day (Tuesday Nov. 11). I come from a family with may Veterans, we attend the ceremonies every year. Last year I had to pull my children out of school to attend.
