Honest question. I've never worked for a company that didn't work on this day, but one of my friends I talked to on the phone yesterday said he wasn't working today and also said a large majority of companies don't work on Good Friday. Needless to say that surprised me but maybe he's right.

Any of you baws working today like I am?

I find it to be more of a tradition in high catholic areas, when I worked in north Mississippi, they laughed when I asked if we got off for Good Friday, same as when I worked for a national corporation

I think this is primarily a Louisiana thing.

Both companies I worked for (after graduating) gave off for Good Friday. None of the companies I’ve worked for since moving have done this.

I've never worked anywhere that was closed on Good Friday.

Yep, my corporate is based out of Nashville.

I believe I had Good Friday off when I worked for LSU, don't remember specifically though.

My wife has today and Monday off (she works at a clinic here in Lafayette).

It's a holiday for me, but I'm having to half work because my coworker won't leave me alone and we have a deadline today that they of course waited until an hour before closing yesterday to completely switch up.

I wouldn't mind so much but I'm on a 10 hour road trip today and working from my phone isn't ideal.

Unfortunately, most companies are moving away from the religious holidays based on political correctness

Stupid government don't recognize religious holidays and since we're a contractor we don't get it off.
