Why is President's Day a Holiday?

in the states, president's day (monday--today) is a holiday, and for many, a company holiday. But MLK day was not?

why?
just curious

 

MLK day is a federal holiday, WTF?

 

lol yes its a holiday

 

maybe it's just my job, 'cause MLK was NOT a company holiday but today president's day iz

weird to me

 

Kneegrow, you're bringing the collective IQ of this board down with every post.

 

First of all, MLK is a nat'l holiday. But you've already been told that.

But that being said, I kinda find it odd that your company has President's Day as a paid day off and not MLK Day. Not because of the distinction between what each day is for, but because most companies either take ALL fed holidays off as paid days, or it's the minimum fed holidays route which only include New Year's, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

okay, thanks mayne
you're swell too
