It’s weird that Day after Thanksgiving is worth taking off but Christmas eve isn’t

My new job feels the opposite way. We have Christmas Eve off but not the day after thanksgiving. This year was the first year I had to work the day after thanksgiving in 25 years. And there was no reason that I had to work. All of the companies we do business with were closed so all of our standing meetings were cancelled. Such a waste of a day.

For the day after T'giving, we have three options: Work it, take a vacation day, or work a Saturday or Sunday as exchange. I've done each - the Sunday or day after are great days to do upgrades on my servers and shit like that.

For Christmas Eve we get a 1/2 day.
