bjarvisI'm sitting in a very empty office at the moment.
The rest of my corporation is enjoying a day off work thanks to the recent death of Gerald Ford. I, however, was nominated and summoned by the powers-that-be to work today as "critical personnel," along with three others. The three with me are contractors; I'm the only full-time employee here.
Six others are deemed to be semi-critical: they need to be reachable by pager but are allowed to telecommute at their pleasure from wherever they happen to be.
The other 100+ people in my division are enjoying an additional paid day off, above & beyond their usual paid vacation time.
Why, yes, I am feeling rather pissed about this, thanks for asking. I'd bitch to my manager but he's not in today. Neither is my director, nor my senior director, nor my junior vice-president. They, apparently, are not "critical personnel."
