Checking if she wants to go.

I sympathise — my job has been media-related for years, and by now everybody and their mother has my personal number. I don’t even bother doing anything about it.
Did you ever consider getting a Google Voice number?
Nope, never even heard of this until now. Thank you for the tip! Will definitely look into that.

I do it because if I'm in a team meeting and my tech needs me, I want to be available.

Several of them, I have known for 8 yrs+ in this position and my previous. Many times my Nashville tech has heard my frustration on my personal phone, vs the company phone which is recorded.

John, where I work, if you work Thursday and the holiday is Thursday, you are required to work and you get normal pay, no extra for holiday. That is at the 2 lowest positions in the company.

My department, management decides if you get the holidays off or not, but you do get paid time 1/2 if you work them.

Does the company you work for close during the holidays?
aye, i’ll be off from dec 20th to jan 6th
That's good as long as they pay you while off.

I work for a company where it's 24/7 and if I worked other positions than what I do, there's a chance you are working on the holidays.

My technicians get New Years Eve off but I have to work because it's month end. I may get off early but who knows at this point.
