Do your work colleagues actually know it's Easter this weekend and that Friday and Monday are Bank Holidays?

After some recent emails and conversations, I think some people just don't know. Maybe they are just out of the loop on these things.

It is only since about Monday that I full started working to, "Everything needs to be finished by Thursday, not Friday this week" Until then I was still mentally scheduling things for Friday, or even Monday

Given we are trying to fit 5 days worth of work into 4, everyone knows.

My sons big now so no childcare needed and I only realised when my colleague told me. Not religious at all.

From the amount of chocolate eggs around in the office I imagine most of them know,

Yeah but only in relation to the things that need doing before tax year end in an oh..that's two less days...way

How can they not know? I teach international students .. they know.

It’s earlier this year than it has been in a while, which has thrown people out I think.

I think the early Easter has confused everyone.

Yes of course they know. It's Easter and we live in a Christian country so they know about Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Its taught in school.

This weekend?

That's the OP

It varies - and it's early this year

Yes but we have to work so it doesn't count.

vodkaredbullgirl · 26/03/2024 19:54

People forget. I have kids but I was still trying to book someone in on Friday at work. They had to remind me.

Yes, abstractly, but it's crept up on us in a "Oh is it the end of March already" way.

lissie123 · 26/03/2024 19:53

Yep it totally hasn’t registered with some people. My DH for one plus colleagues. It’s tiresome having to explain that no I won’t be working that day.

Only if they have children really.
