Replying to my sibling comment from @paxys:
True, though Juneteenth may be different here. It could be considered the most basic signal of whether a company cares about Diversity & Inclusion. Of course this itself would be meaningless, but perhaps eventually the lack of this holiday may say something about that employer.
P.S.: The big tech company I work for has more federal holidays off, but Columbus Day and Veterans Day are not among them.
- ojbyrne 5y agoI'm actually kind of shocked, but there are plenty of companies that don't give MLK day off. So those companies are probably not going to do Juneteenth.
- ralusek 5y agoIf I had a private company, I would put 0 emphasis on diversity and inclusion beyond "if you discriminate on the basis of sex or race, you are fired." I would, however, have Juneteenth off as a holiday. So, please consider me a data point of 1 which does not fit your paradigm.
