When does your workplace shut down for the holidays?

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Never - some prod support IT staff (Devs & testers too) are always on support. Nothing much happens on Operations side though.

 

[Script]

24 Dec

 

[Bernoldus Niemand]

Same time as the DStv articles on MyBB stops.

Office doesn't shut. Work continues through, but it's mostly support staff that will stay on. Most of us are off on leave so it slows down.

Dec 20th to Jan 7th.
Looking forward to the break

 

[Goosfrabba]

Doesn't close but my leave is approved from next week until the 6th of January

Most of my colleagues shut down somewhere between 1983 and 2014.

My holiday started on the 1st of April when I left the company on pension after more than 40 years of uninterrupted service.

The company I work for shuts down between Christmas and New Year. The previous company I worked for exported to the US and Saudi Arabia, and we never shut down. It was a 24 hour, 7day a week operation. I even worked many times on Christmas day and New Years day in the 19 years I worked there. The staff who worked through the holidays normally got paid very well for availing themselves. Like in almost two month's salary on top of your normal salary and 13th cheque. So, many years I earned 4 x my salary in December. One year I used the money to pay for my PPL.

We do not shut down, work 24/7 365 days a year

Christmas week but obvious standby.

Never officially shuts down, but skeleton staff from the 16th Dec through to first week of Jan.

 

[Werner1975]

Company shutdown from 20 Dec. to 05 Jan. Open from 06 Jan. Luckily only 2 and a halve days left for me! (14 Dec. to 07 Jan.)

 

[Nerfherder]

LOL @ end of year shut down.

We don't but do stagger leave over the Christmas period.

 

[Rumple4skin]

Holidays are when we get busier.

 

[genetib97]
