Something I am proud to say AZ took the high road and did the right thing by giving employees three extra days in Dec, essentially "shutting down" dec 29-31. Thanks AZ, for doing something that makes sense and actually adds to work life balance. Kudos. Just wish it would've happened sooner, but not complaining!

And Corporate wants to make sure you show your appreciation on the Focus Survey!! 
Nothing more than a cost savings measure, but I will take it.
Source? Haven't heard or seen anything on this so I'm guessing probably BS.
This is legit ... I saw the corporate communication. DMs to send it out to their teams. Enjoy the extra 3 days off
If you haven't seen this email yet then your DM is either on vacation or isn't really working.
it's a good start. Friend at Astellas has corp shutdown from 12/24-1/4
And Corporate wants to make sure you show your appreciation on the Focus Survey!!
Bingo! And right after closing the season of early Fridays which will drive morale down. Closing Christmas week wont last. Just a ploy for Focus.
Correct. No one is there or productive anyway. And its more evidence to support closing Wilmington.
Is Medi closing on those days?
I wonder if our contract reps will also get that time off?
Who gives a rats ass why we're getting time off! Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. just enjoy it dumbass! Damn you people never stop complaining!
Az should have been doing this all along, as nothing gets done that week. However, announcing it a few days before FOCUS is just in poor taste. They couldn't wait 2 more weeks to announce? Its like politicians having their name on a property tax rebate a few weeks before an election. Thanks for the days Pascal, but HR showed very poor, manipulative form on this.
Yeah, for certain it's politically motivated. Maybe they should do a focus survey every year.
Not like it matters. They will take it off regardless.
Very clever to announce it before a company survey! They didn't do this to be "nice". They did as a cost savings measure, and to boost positive responses for the survey. Oh well, just a few more days add on to the many I don't work anyway!
