Stars and Stripes: Federal agencies will be closed Dec. 24 and employees will have the day off with pay, under an order President Donald Trump issued Tuesday that amounts to the latest in a series of holiday presents to the federal workforce.
Presidents commonly give federal employees additional time off around the Christmas Day holiday, though a full day off most typically is granted to create a long weekend when that day lands on a Tuesday or a Thursday. Trump did that last year when Christmas Day was on a Tuesday; when it falls on other days, the most common practice has been to give a half-day off, or none.
The order follows his administration’s recent acceptance of provisions in two budget bills sponsored by House Democrats to provide 12 weeks of paid parental leave and to pay a 3.1% average federal raise in January. read more
BAH
Might as well…90% of the employees will call in sick anyway.
Next the muslims will want Kwanza eve off too. And the SCOTUS will agree.
He can give em all the next decade off. Without pay, of course.
A decade even with with pay, the country would better off.
To all nonessential employees:
You’re FIRED!
Sincerely,
The Donald
In spite of all the humbuggery and proverbial snowballs thrown his way, it is still a nice thing to do.
That is our great and wonderful President.
WWWWWWWWIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!
Tony – the other 10% won’t do anything, anyway.
Except watch porn or Netflix on the job.
HEY, hey, hey now…….easy on federal employees! A large number of my family have been or are federally employed and are/were hard working and conscientious.

Federal employee raises should be tied to Social Security increases. Salaries for Representatives and Senators should be tied to the top compensation paid out by Social Security.
There should be no pension plan for Representatives or Senators. Representing citizens is not a career, it is a duty.
I have no problem with December 24th being a day off for federal workers, they weren’t going to be doing anything anyway.
Make the athiest leftists work. They don’t believe in christmas so why should they get that benefit?
