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