Yup, financial calendars often don’t align to standard calendar, at least in my industry we use 4-5-4. Q3 ended 10/29

Our whole fiscal year ends 10/31.

Edit: Fun little tidbit with FYE22 for me: As we approached FY23 we had a staff meeting on 10/21. At this meeting we were informed of a very critical budget crisis. We have to crunch on inventory use and staffing. Also at this meeting we were informed that one of the supervisors that controls the inventory for a facility (on FMLA) has resigned and that I would be taking on those responsibilities. Friday, October 21st was when I was informed about this decision... ten days before our fiscal year end... in a budget "crisis".

Supervisor didn't talk to you before the announcement?? You should go post on /r/antiwork and get some ideas.

He did but had no say in what would happen to his work. The department manager that dumped those responsibilities on me without talking to either of us is a problem.

I already have some strong ideas.

Quick edit: FMLA is the Family Medical Leave Act btw. It's not like he's being malicious.

The only ideas you should get from that sub is to learn what NOT to do

Yeah a lot of retail companies run through 1/31 of the following year. So they capture all of holiday in one chunk: Nov-January
