Another failed holiday with hardly any merchandising support. My RMS is so useless

Planned to work on Memorial Day as I already have some client meetings scheduled. Anyone know if I go to the office will the hours count?

Anyone know if memorial holiday Day week will be tracked?

Mid-week off payroll so they don't have to pay us for the holiday? Are they really that petty.

I can't believe AIG is giving the UK off for Good Friday and Easter, bit not in the US.

Go look at the UK holiday calendar vs US, they get a lot more time off than we do.

Sad AIG doesn't treat everyone fair.

The last couple of years we’ve had a day off in recognition of Employee Appreciation (3/6).
I take it this isn’t happening in 2026?

All employees receive three 8‑hour holiday days each year. My supervisor advised me to use all three, and mentioned that if I don’t use them, I will lose them. I’m unsure whether she was simply reminding me about the policy or implying something else, such as a possible layoff, by encouraging me to use the remaining holiday hours.

What do you think she was trying to say?

How do y'all deal with 5 day RTO, it must be brutal , no? I know qualcomm isn't the place for "work life balance" which is what I always hear from my peers at QCOM , but do y'all get extra holidays or something? Did they increase the leaves after the 5 day rto change ?

At least they had the class to wait until after the holidays.

Did anyone else receive premium pay for working every day last week?

It was brought to my attention by a teammate that he received premium pay for last week. He asked whether I had received it as well and if I knew what premium pay was. I told him I wasn’t familiar with it, but I was happy to help him understand how it would be calculated in his weekly pay. After looking into it together, we learned that premium pay is double his hourly rate.

He then reached out to our manager to confirm, and she told him that she decided to give him premium pay for all of his hard work and asked him to keep it discreet.

Both my teammate and I hold the same position as Transaction Analysts. Our team was short-staffed last week, and myself along with four other team members worked extremely hard and also worked every day that week—yet none of us received premium pay.

I’m genuinely confused as to why premium pay would be given to only one person and not extended to others who performed the same work under the same conditions. I am a strong performer and consistently praised in meetings for my ability to efficiently clear accounts (providing context, not bragging). Despite this, I am paid at the minimum wage level while also taking on responsibilities typically handled by managers, while others on the team earn more.

This situation feels very discouraging and honestly may be my breaking point. I’m struggling to understand why premium pay would be selectively given rather than applied fairly across the team. I would appreciate any insight or perspective on this. Thank you in advance.

Anyone else look at their timesheets today? The holiday hours are only listed at 7 hours each day instead of the standard 7.75 hours. Last week showed 7.75 both days. What's going on?

Don't forget! Don't end up on the naughty list

Will they really let people go 2 days before Christmas?

I hope we get to go home at 2:00 on Christmas Eve this year like in years past.

Anyone know how they’re handling this? I’d assume the 2025 reviews won’t count since those are about to be released, and December probably won’t roll into the 2026 cycle either.

I’d hope they are a little more lax with the holidays.

Can't they wait for the holidays to be over

Anyone receive theirs yet? Just curious how long they will make us wait for it, being the holiday season and all.

It says "Set your holiday status. Need to run to the oven to get your holiday prep ready? let your team know!".

So are they encouraging us to take care of personal errands at work?

Everyone here might want to check their hours submitted by HR for your holiday pay.

If you did not receive a full 8 hours, it is because they changed how it is calculated, they now calculate your average hours worked over the last 8 weeks and divide it by your number of shifts.

Let's say every worker averages 100k. So each personal day is ~$400 on average and each worker uses 2 personal days during Christmas because they dont carry over. Let's also exclude NJ workers from the equation who get 90 days notice.

Since they don't pay out personal days it saves up to ~5-10 million by getting rid of Workers before Christmas week. As opposed to being off books on 12/31.

Do you get paid for Thanksgiving and Black Friday if you got laid off. Or you will only get paid for 40 hours this week?

Read the comments. So many posts about how it’s heartless to do a mass layoff right before the holidays … and how this isn’t the right strategy

Dec 19 or 16 is my last day. Can’t even remember everything is a blur. What a sh---y time to lay someone off. A few days before Xmas.

Good Luck to the slope workers today. It’s sad to watch really. High $$$ consultants were given the reigns. Reminds me of the RLG days. Conoco used to be the common sense operator on the slope. Only hired good people. Those days are gone. We’ve hired some real winners over the last few years (folks that didn’t make the cut at BP and Hilcorp). To top it off, management thought it best to lay people off right before the holidays, and expect a wildly successful winter season with minimal remaining field experience. Good luck to all. Those that are asked to move on, it’s probably for the better.

Does anyone know if Staples locations (not retail) will be open the day after Thanksgiving. We have not heard and they usually wait till 2-3 weeks before they tell us.

Check your Amplify for this week's Grinching. Who does that? What kind of leadership takes money from people at Christmas? Godda-n.
