Hi everyone,
I'm doing an internship in my final year of university, and my graduation ceremony will fall during my internship. Is it fatally detrimental to me if I use 2 days of my 4 days holiday to go? We're recommended to take 2 days anyway by HR, but I don't know how this might look...
If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it.

Nah prove your dedication to the team by skipping your graduation
Edit: before ppl get worked up--it's a joke
if ur graduation is on a friday usually that’s okay to take off during the summer, if it’s two days during the week it’ll depend on ur team
I did an internship at this bank in my penultimate year and I'm doing another in my final year on another desk, so not FT in 2023, hopefully 2024. So HR already know me, at least.
Go regardless of the day of the week, it’s your college graduation
Alright, thanks for all the tips everyone! Great to know that it's not looked down upon
Do people actually care about their graduation ceremony? Genuinely curious, not trying to be a dick. I've graduated 3 times with separate degrees and have attended zero of the ceremonies.
