If you work in an office what time will you finish Xmas eve? I seem to have meetings all afternoon so I won't finish until 5 which seems really late . I'm hoping they get cancelled. Are you working normal time Xmas eve?

My office is closed on 23rd and 24th December (and doesn't reopen until 2nd January).

We’ve been given the day off (sorry!)

Mummyme87 · 09/12/2021 19:45

My OH has been emailed to say the office closes at 2pm that day and not reopening until 4th jan (usually only closes on BH

Lucky you. I've taken the next week off so not to bad.

I'm taking it as annual leave, otherwise would have been 5

NatMoz · 09/12/2021 19:47

Usually at 12pm

Itsnotdeep · 09/12/2021 19:48

We close at lunchtime on Christmas Eve.

Lochnessgiraffe · 09/12/2021 19:54

I'm hoping that they'll be an email saying we'll finish early

People always book things till 5 in our office then they gradually get cancelled. We normally get an email on 24th to say we can leave at 2..

LastStarFighter · 09/12/2021 19:55

Mine is closed Christmas Eve, but previously people have started to bunk off from lunchtime.

daisypond · 09/12/2021 19:59

I finish at midnight and am working Christmas Day too. Office job but shift work.

Pheebs2021 · 09/12/2021 20:03

It'll be 3pm if I manage to get it at 7! To do this I will need to have popped to the supermarket and gone to the butchers all before 7... so probably end up closer to 4 finish.

scarpa · 09/12/2021 20:05

We usually close up at 2 latest, or take everyone for lunch at 12 and we don't go back.

Not sure what we'll do this year - most people are WFH again/still. We'll probably still finish early but it'll be a bit less ceremonial!

I think it depends what you do, too - all our clients stop working for 2 straight weeks, so it's a really quiet time for us. If you work in something that doesn't shut down for a chunk of time at Christmas I imagine it's harder.

reluctantbrit · 09/12/2021 20:06

Lunchtime but for some departments it will be more around 2-.2.30pm

Luckily it's a Friday this year and this means I don't work at all.

CrazyBaubles · 09/12/2021 20:07

Our office closes at 3 but my department isn't customer facing so I think we're officially closing at 2 (in reality I doubt much work will get done after 12)

Megan2018 · 09/12/2021 20:07

It’s a 3pm finish at ours but as everyone WFH it means little. There won’t be much going on! I’m off as nursery shut but wish I’d not booked it as could’ve got away with it.

Couchbettato · 09/12/2021 20:08
  1. It'll be dark when I start work and dark when I finish work and then I've got to somehow make my kid distracted enough that I can make the magic happen.

I'm gonna be knackered on Christmas day.

Starlightstarbright1 · 09/12/2021 20:08

I will be working till 5.30

HaaaaaveyoumetTed · 09/12/2021 20:11

4.30 at the earliest (normal finish time) but depends, we can't leave until the notes are written up and Christmas is no exception.

maddiemookins16mum · 09/12/2021 20:13

We close at 1pm.

mrsbobbelcherakalinda · 09/12/2021 20:14

2pm

SliceOfCakeCupOfTea · 09/12/2021 20:14

Yikes! We finish on 17th and reopen on 4th

megletthesecond · 09/12/2021 20:15

We're always sent home by 3. And checked on by management if we're logged in to see if we're stuck on something.
