I got some stuff done this morning, but this afternoon has felt like everything is in slow motion. We should have just had the day off, I don't think being in and trying to act productive really adds anything. If anything, it just annoys people.

Yes and no.

Definitely struggling but Teams is quiet and no meetings so that helps with productivity.

About 10 years ago we always had to work on the Friday after Thanksgiving. The big wigs finally realized it wasn't a productive work day AND employees were pissed that they had to come to work with a "turkey hangover." The decision was made to give employees that day off, as a show of "employee appreciation." It was good for morale and didn't really hurt production. I think companies need to preview upcoming calendars and do the same whenever a paid holiday falls on a Thursday. It might be stretching the point to do the same thing for the Tuesdays after a Monday holiday.

Would request people to refrain from knowingly hurting people’s sentiments.

How hard is it to get an interview for SWE at FAANG outside of on campus recruiting? I’m in GT’s OMSCS program right now, hoping to take advantage of career fairs this fall, but I don’t know if I’ll have enough time to prepare for the technical interviews before then. I’m worried about missing out on the recruiting opportunity and having to resort to applying online/LinkedIn afterwards. Any insights into this?
