Just had an associate tell me that he's pumped for the upcoming holiday because it will give him and I an opportunity to push our deal forward without too many interruptions which is hilarious. I'm just trying to check the pulse on the street to see how much work people are anticipating on the 4th itself. Also, if anyone has any horror stories, let me know.

Sounds like someone went to bschool
Back when I was in banking as a junior, I once took off the whole week for the 4th which included dads bday, gf bday, brothers birthday, and a concert for a semi pro nyc orchestra I was a part of that was finally happening since covid canceled it for 2 years and I told them 6 months in advance. I had never taken vacation at the firm in my time there. Obviously I was told I couldn’t take that time off the week before because a well known deal we were pushing to the finish line and in between intermission of my concert I was updating a deck. Sucked
That’s u being a pushover or not managing correctly. I don’t believe that you did a good job communicating this and explicitly letting them know you will be unavailable. Not asking over a teams chat but telling them over a phone call or in person that you are not available from x to x.
Totally fair. But that’s what being a young idiot is for, you learn from experiences. The issue would be if I still dealt with stuff like this now, which I can say happily I don’t.
I'm not on anything live that is pressing, but I'm making sure my analysts arent working on my pitches Thursday and ideally Friday.
If you’re working on 4th you’re at a sweatshop. Literally no client is working on that day or on Friday/weekend.
