I'd rather those were opt-in anyway. Just have a box you can tick for "cultural awareness events" or something.
I mean okay to choice, but why do you care on this? Who gives a shit? As long as they aren't adding national donut day and frivolous shit shit like that.
Some like to keep their calendars clean, which should be their choice. There is already a setting for showing national holidays, they could just expand that
Sure, but sounds like you wanted differentiated toggles for national holidays versus these needed observances? If you're saying a single toggle for all, I agree. I don't think the observances should be othered though.
othered
@Tanoh @Snapz I think the point is, this appears to be obeying in advance, which you should NEVER do when confronted by fascism. In its early stages, fascism depends on this kind of fear-based compliance while they're building power, and this is a large part of how they do it. This is like donating oily rags to a known arsonist.
I mostly want to know what days I will not have to work
but I actually never saw any of those in the french holidays calendars
Up to the company in America, no guarantee of not having to work just because some observe a certain day. Especially for blue collar workers. The ultimate irony here is most will work on labor day.
I don't really care.
