minus-squareServais (il/le)OPlinkfedilink2•1 month agoAh, I see. I usually use bank holidays because that’s how they were always called in companies I worked for. Seems to be a English-speaking thing from another comment. I guess calling them a religious holiday doesn’t say if companies are closed or not.
