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?

@1f8 lol says the person checking back on the fossil layoff site
@OP only losers still work at fossil
@rw ROFL - if you think European operators aren’t going to ride the ‘murrican no workers rights horse until it keels over in harness you are not in tune with the work environment - inconvenience for parents - as if.
Some real boomer bootlickers in the comments today
@zq such bs. We all know nothing gets done on fridays.
@vr lies lies lies
@sd maybe you should work a little bit more
@104 that shows your lack of integrity
Fossil actually got more hours out of me when we worked remotely. I often worked before 8 and after 5 and didn’t take a lunch. In office I find myself taking a whole hour and wasting a lot of time in unnecessary meetings
Not sure about others, but I’ve had to work 8–5 or later on Fridays due to workload. There isn’t really a “free” day
@sc - Get back to 40 hours a week? What team are you on? I want to apply. We’re so understaffed and overworked most everyone I know easily gets in 60 hours a week.
I haven’t heard anything regarding a RTO initiative but it wouldn’t surprise me that they drop a bo-b at the huddle since that’s the method of delivery the past few years. It certainly doesn’t benefit them to do so as many other companies in the area still offer some sort of hybrid schedule. I think it’s a great way to drive out your last bit of talent.
so what the times are work 4 days get paid for 5 and bi--h if you have to come to the office softie?
@sc Nice one boomer. Your age is showing. Maybe retire if you don’t want to get with the times?
@rw you done got comfortable only working 4 days a week but getting paid for 5 days. Time to get back to 40hrs a week.
It’s happening the day after the Huddle. Anyone else hear about the, apparent, upcoming forcing of 5 days in office and many other strict rules designed to inconvenience parents and such? Can’t even pay us appropriately to accommodate these, alleged, upcoming edits to structure. So? Give us the bad news Thursday and play the “good gal” (the new CPO) gives us a half day Friday? The sugar after the slap?
@OP They must have seen your post. Apparently they only appreciate us half as much this year. 😏
