I work from home. It has many advantages, but one big disadvantage is you might not notice it’s a holiday and work anyway.

Dare I ask my boss for Tuesday off since I accidentally worked the holiday anyway?

    This is the actual answer. My boss is awesome and this isn’t really a problem.

    I mostly just felt the urge to revel in my stupidity once I realized what happened 🫠

    It explained why it was such a nice quiet day. I was able to get more than usual done 😅

      I am a manager for a remote team. Sometimes I screw up and forget to double remind the team about holidays. Sometimes I remember but they forget anyways.

      Either way, I’m not going to screw someone out of a day of PTO; I’ll usually suggest the coming Friday off as an alternative.

      I would be honest, it’s a funny mistake and worth a quick laugh.
