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?

    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.
