Be Flexible for the Holidays

Have I ever mentioned that I work at the world's greatest company? Well, I do. And just one of the thousands of reasons is because my employer makes taking time off for the holidays so stress-free. You see, we're closing the office at 2 p.m. today so everyone can get where they need to go in preparation for Thanksgiving (For me, that means starting a 10-hour car ride to Dallas). And I won't be sitting at this desk until Monday morning. Don't even ask me about my Christmas and New Year's schedule, you'll just get jealous.

Generosity like this makes all the difference to employees. Get some more tips on offering and accommodating flexible holiday schedules in this MSNBC article, then go have yourself a Happy Thanksgiving!
