No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yes. You worked on a holiday. I think they’d be on dangerous (legally) ground to forbid you your day off. Be confident. You had a day off and forgot. Claim it.
Legally shaky ground? Lol.
No.
Not in the US. Unless this is all laid out specifically in the contract, there’s nothing preventing from an employee coming in on an off day and doing some work, legally speaking.
Your employer can decide you’re not supposed to be there and tell you to go home, mind. What days you work or don’t work are between you and them. You doing extra work as a salaried employee is gonna look at as you doing favors.
Boss probably doesn’t care, though.
I'm of a different mindset. Maybe it's because of my age and the time that I've been in the workforce (I have no fear about politics in the workforce). I emailed and discussed with the CEO of a small company that it was hypocrisy that we were closed on Presidents' Day but not MLK day (company was only about 24 people; this wouldn't have been possible at a huge corp). I said that we should be closed on both or open on both, taking that side that it's better that we're open on both. We started being off on MLK day after that.
You are a person. You were given a day off. You mistakenly worked that day. Tell your boss that you made a mistake and you want to shift your day off. I'm not saying that you should demand it. I'm saying that you shouldn't be afraid to ask for what is owed. As far as the legal bit goes, I'm not suggesting that you should sue if you don't get the day. I'm saying that as a worker, you are likely somewhat protected and it's better for them not to fa&fo, so they'll probably just say "sure thing."
Don't be afraid to assert yourself. Being an advocate for yourself is one of the most important skills you can learn.
The email to the CEO was as follows:
Response from CEO about a week later:
