Employees Upset After Emory Healthcare Nixes Christmas Eve As Paid Holiday, Replaces it with Juneteenth
[Gateway] Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, Georgia took away Christmas Eve as a paid holiday and replaced it with Juneteenth instead. Dr. Joon Lee, CEO of Emory, said that "to minimize impact to patient care, we will not be adding another paid holiday to our calendar." So he traded it out instead.

The Post Millennial reported:

Dr. Joon Lee, the CEO of Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, Georgia, notified employees that the company would no longer offer holiday pay for Christmas Eve because it was adding Juneteenth to the holiday calendar starting in 2024.

In a statement, Lee said the executive leadership team decided to make Juneteenth an observed holiday, however, he added that "to minimize impact to patient care, we will not be adding another paid holiday to our calendar." Instead, "we will remove Christmas Eve from our holiday calendar and replace it with Juneteenth."

"EHC currently observes nine paid holidays each year, while other Atlanta health systems average six paid holidays," wrote Lee. "For each observed holiday, our clinics and business offices close, which means our patients are unable to make clinic appointments for those days."

Emory, which is the largest healthcare system in Georgia, explained that its leadership came to the decision to add the holiday after listening to employee feedback and allowing employees "more opportunities for celebration, reflection, and education."

Emory Healthcare employees are upset about Dr. Joon Lee’s decision to nix Christmas Eve as a paid holiday.

#1 I see June 19th as just another way for the Democrat party to cover over their:
100+ years slave owning history.
100+ years of lynching.
100+ years of racist segregation laws.

To cover their past, they play the role of protecting, housing and feeding the Poor Black Community, that they have kept on their voter plantations.

They even have their version of Kapo's aka using now filthy rich Reverends and Race Pimps.

Based on voting, its seems 96% of the Black Community has been sold on the idea, that the Democrat party is their savior.

#3 Many just call off on Juneteenth anyway. More likely management effort to control staff shortages.

What bullshit (yes, Emory is Emory, but I smell bullshit).

#9 Another insult to traditional American culture and kow-towing to a recently publicized Black celebration in remembrance of slavery. Gotta keep that meme going at all costs to gouge more money/benefits from the frightened white liberals.

#11 What amazes me about all this is we're talking about what was a local celebration of an obscure event in south Texas: the reading of the Emancipation Proclimation at the courthouse square in Galveston TX on June 17th 1865.
Seriously, it was one of the 'optional' holidays here for years. Juneteeth, Texas Independence Day, Fat Tuesday(Mardi Gras, day before Ash Wednesday), and the Friday after Thanksgiving. Pick any Two. You had to use vacation to make up extras.

#12 ^ "Floating Holiday". Schedule ahead of time to maintain coverage. Reasonable

#14 What the heck is "Juneteenth"?

I read the term here and there, but I have no clue what it is and why I should care?

#15 See above. It is a celebration of people finding out about the Emancipation Proclamation 30 months after the fact. This is an early example of extreme "CP time."

#16 ^ Thanks for a lovely little alt history daydream...

A compromise, then some delay,
But at last came that glorious day
Of the 19th of June,
Or "some Friday real soon"
On which CPT finally held sway.

And a relaxing and edifying time was had by all... and that has made all the difference.
