I'm a college teacher, and our library and our offices are all closed today to observe the holiday. But I think other than a few other colleges and universities we're among the only places in the Pacific NW who observe it.
Does your place of work observe Juneteenth?

Yes. We observe it from our desks while we work. But please stop by the cafeteria for Juneteenth snacks!

Yes we’re off, instead of MLK day lmao. Like that’s how it was phrased, “this year we’re taking Juneteenth as a holiday….instead of MLK day”. Classic lib logic.

Well Helen Pixley got confused! She thought it was "Jew" Teenth and picked up some Star of David cookies at the bakery to hand out at the senior center! The colored staff were perplexed to say the least! The cookies were good they were butter sugar cookies with a blue and silver icing! Poor Helen bless her heart she meant well!

Nope both me and my husband have work today. The only people I know who have it off are government employees.

No one takes Juneteenth seriously, apparently.

As opposed to classic conservative logic: "We're taking neither day off because we don't believe Black people deserve holidays."

Or, as opposed to classic, consetvative Republican bussinessman logic, we already gave "you people" a holiday to celebrate. If ypu want another holiday, you can pick one or the other, but you sure as hell can't have both.

The NY Stock Exchange closed in observance. I don’t know anyone who had to work today.

Yes, we're a nonprofit and we decided to observe it starting a few years ago.

Seemed like there were more people out and about in my neighborhood today. I think more people have off than most think.

The library I work at observes all federal and state holidays so we’re closed.

No, but every African American person in my department (6 out of 15 of us) took today and tomorrow off, as they should! Some took Monday as well-
My company is utterly corrupt and largely white. Sociopaths every where you turn, and not one black or latino person in any executive role.
They are so despicable that they stopped vacation time this year- under the guise that "it's unlimited! You only need to ask) Yeah right, as our public company's 2.8 rating on Glassdoor illuminates.
It was because vacation time/banks show as a financial liability... My company also Was going to work with the trump administration, we found out- in the area of migrant housing before deportation.
They also were just decimated in a wrongful termination (sex discrimination) suit that they wisely paid off before going to trial.
So no Juneteenth for us!
