Our boss always has schemes so that even when she gifts us things, she also takes away.
In this case, there was an attendance goal she wanted us to reach for future Summits that was astronomical and not really feasible, so of course we feel slightly short. Not wanting to totall shaft us on holiday time, she "compromised" with us by observing Christmas on the 26th, as the world did, and observing New Years FRIDAY, as the world DIDN'T. She then closed the office Tues, Wed, and Thurs in between those two days. Tradeoff, office reopens today instead of tomorrow.
I just tacked on 3 days of personal time to the beginning of the holiday to give myself more time.
So while I shouldn't really be at all bothered by it, she still managed to get a little dig in there.
