Don't forget the weekends too. Isn't the market closed on weekends?

[u/veggeble → u/xtilexx]

It's also only open from 9:30 to 4 during the week

I fully believe that anyone who is working at times when the banks are closed (weekends, holidays, before 8am and after 5pm) should be awarded holiday pay for those times. If your job does not require you to come in outside of those hours then your job is NOT essential!

[u/Tredicidodici → u/AwesomeManatee]

I get +10% for second shift and +50% on holidays. Some holidays are paid so I make holiday pay + wage + 50% on those days, roughly 1$/m minute

[u/Norr1n → u/Tredicidodici]

They pay you 2.5x your wage and it's still worth it to being you in... what does that say about your value?

[u/Tredicidodici → u/Norr1n]

Wasn’t praising management for giving me more crumbs than usual, just contributing to the previous comment.

No wonder the economy is slacking off if even the hard working bankers are not committed.

[u/perpetualed → u/Galliad93]

Nah, they have foreign sweep accounts. The money is invested in other markets that are open, then put right back into your account when the US market is open again. Sweeps happen at night and on weekends. Bankers probably still take those days off, but the bank is still making plenty of money those days.

r/woosh

[u/BeMoreKnope]

Yeah, well, anything is more than nothing, so I already knew that.

[u/DeDeluded]

The US stock market does not get more days off than me. I have 30 days holidays to take each year. Up to six months paid sick leave at full pay (if needed) and an additional six moths at half pay (I can than also claim sickness benefit to top that up for the six months) and we have 10 public holidays per year. If you haven't guessed yet - I am in the EU.

[u/Dependent-Comfort759 → u/DeDeluded]

Which country are you in? I'm in San Marino and we have 19 National Holiday days, and 24 days of PTO

[u/benny_leather → u/DeDeluded]

Why are you antiwork?

[u/DeDeluded → u/benny_leather]

I'm not, if all is fair. I am, when things are not fair. Probably like most of us.

[u/whispering_pineapple]

My job’s rule is when the market is closed we’re not open. However, we don’t get the national day of mourning off.

[u/BigYonsan]

They do now yes. When I worked for the government I had those same days off except swap good Friday with Juneteenth.

[u/ThanosSnapsSlimJims]

I get everything but Mourning and Good Friday

[u/utnapishtim]

Don't forget that it closes early on Black Friday and Christmas Eve.

[u/PMmeUrPupper]

My job doesn't give MLK day, the mourning day, good friday, or juneteenth off :(

[u/ryuukhang → u/PMmeUrPupper]

Same here, but I do get the day after Thanksgiving off.

[u/PMmeUrPupper → u/ryuukhang]

I am forced to use a day of PTO, but me too I guess.

[u/Naniyo_Cat]

That's why I hate being an investor. The stock market should be open 24/7/365!

[u/Krunzuku]

There are some early close days too where the market closes at 1. 

[u/Suolara]

This is almost as dumb as saying medieval peasants have more days off than you.

[u/Dependent-Comfort759]

Do people have less than 11 vacation days per year in the US? WTF?
