I think we’re the only one - but those two days are make up for Columbus and Presidents’ Day

Really? Other firms give off on these days? Didn’t know that

Agreed with above. Our total number of holidays is pretty comparable to other B4. Just different when we take it.

PwC has those two as official holidays as well. I’m in tax though and end up working Labor Day still. 😫

EY used to only give off one day for Xmas and one for NY, which is where they pulled those 2 days. That always threw me off. Esp when Xmas was on a tues or thurs., since I usually worked during the holidays.

GT gets Fourth of July and day after this year as well as Christmas Eve and day. Not sure if y’all get that

EY gives those as well, but also "shuts down" offices for the remainder of the week, semi-requiring you to use your vacation

PwC gives the whole week off at July 4th and we get the full week off from Christmas to New Year. We do have to use a few days of vacation or floater holiday in there too though

Heard we essentially forced DT’s hand into shutting down for the fourth week as well. Really is a nice perk that I expect all big 4s to be doing soon

BDO closes early the day before any holiday. So for labor day / memorial day that means the Friday before. Not a full 4 day weekend, but also means you don't have to take a full day of PTO should you choose to make it a 4 day weekend.

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?
