Is getting Christmas off a good thing to negotiate for? Do you like to try and get the holidays off?

Are you in the Unitrd States? Christmas is a national holiday. Unless your data entry is a life or death situation (will someone die if the data isn't entered?), your company should be closed.

Christmas Day yeah but I guess this is more about the period in general.

I have honestly never tried to negotiate anything like that but it isn't a bad idea. Most companies allow you to have that day off already though so just make sure it isn't something they already give to you. If it is, it would be pointless to negotiate that.

I think it’s more for the fact I know people who get the whole 2 weeks around Christmas off and paid so I was wondering if that’s common.

Do you mean Christmas Day specifically? Or other days between christmas and New Year's? In my industry, christmas off is a given, and it's pretty standard to get from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day off.

The time between! That’s great though not a lot of companies offer that even if there’s no work.

Lol. In the US, having the federal holidays off is the *bare minimum* 😬😅

There are about a dozen federal holidays. Each day is taken off separately.

Any company that doesn’t give Christmas off is going to be a big no

Yeah definitely but I’d like time off around it too.

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
