"And just to be clear, nobody I’m acquainted with “had the option not to.” New Year’s Eve just generally isn’t considered a paid holiday here."
Did nobody you know have the ability to take vacation or some other form of PTO on New Year's Eve? That's the "option" I was referring to, and the option most of my friends and family used in order to not go to work. I wouldn't say that it's normal to have an actual paid holiday on New Year's Eve around here, but between holiday travel, the way that Austin's culture is dominated by the University of Texas, state and local government, and the tech industry (all of which are pretty generous with the late-December holidays), I think we've hit a critical mass where people have started taking time off because they feel like "everyone else" is off. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
