    I never work on Thanksgiving and I also have the next day off too. I'm looking forward to having a nice relaxing 4 day weekend.

    I'm only working Monday and Tuesday of this week. In a hotel, I've had to put in holidays for years. Now at 25 years, I'm off. !! But to get the holidays off I take vacation days. Tom has it off every year and all the holidays !!

    the hospital is 24/7/365, and while i have the day off, i'm working wednesday and friday, both traditionally busy for us. the cooks at the hospital do a great setup and the patients and staff are well fed. no-one wants to be with us, but someones' gotta be there.... . i feel for the cops, firefighters and ems, they got it a lot harder

    No, I never worked Thanksgiving. My MIL used to waitress and she'd purposefully work Thanksgiving and all other holidays. Man, the tips she got on just one holiday shift was like all the tips in one WEEK of regular days. She used to work all day then come to our house and we'd have a big thanksgiving meal together. I miss her, she passed away 4 years ago.

    all retail is closed for Canadian Thanksgiving (back in Oct). Unless there are animals or people to care for, no one works on Holidays here.

    Cooley is closed Thanksgiving and the day after so I get a 4 day weekend!

    Andy's job is closed on Thanksgiving but he's working Friday for double pay.

    Well since I work at a pet bording facility we can't not come in for the day. We are closed to the public that day, but of corse still need to come in and care for the animals. Everyone is required to work that day, but because everyone is working we are all able to work less hours- we just added more shifts to the day.

    I did request friday off though (and got it). Justin has a 4 day weekend and I wanted a day off with him.
