Of note: I used to work for a company (several actually) that had 24/7 manufacturing operations. THE worst day, attendance wise, was always the day after Super Bowl Sunday.
Up here the major auto plants get November 15 (or a the day after - as negotiated) off as a scheduled holiday - for the first day of firearm deer hunting. They went to that schedule years ago because of chronic absenteeism.

Count me in for Ketchup Day (as long as they don't call it Catsup Day)

Players play, tough players win!

True. Equally effective. I just hate how long the damn thing takes, and thinking about getting up early the next day.

This would defeat the primary purpose of working one less Monday :whistle:

Not to rub it in but I'll be on a cruise ship both for Super Bowl and the day after. At least this year anyway. I'm going to sleep as late as I want and have a Bloody Mary when I get up.

This only applies to their salaried employees, and they lost their Christmas Eve vacation day in exchange for this. Dumb marketing ploy if you ask me. 

I work for French's so I am a bit biased, but my customers and grocers will all be working the day after Super Bowl.

Buddy of mine works for Ken's salad drsssings, in Pittsburgh, wonder if they did this. They only give us 1/2 day on Christmas Eve, I'd trade the Monday for that. If they did it Saturday, I'd be up for that, but that doesn't ever seem to come up

Teresa Heinz's husband is no longer Secretary of State, so no inside help there.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Meh. I don't really watch it anyway. I'll probably be playing golf whilst everyone else is glued to the tube. 

At night?

I usually watch because my team is playing. :-P

It doesn't matter to me anymore. I can't sleep late. Whether I stay up to midnight or go to sleep at 9, I wake up between 4 and 5 and usually can't fall back to sleep. I haven't used an alarm clock for work in 5 or 6 years.

I work in a nerd house with other nerds.  If anyone actually watches the super bowl, they will most definitely not need the next day off.  As it is, the HR group has to remind us when established holidays are coming up and not to come in.

Sure. I set up the net in the backyard and I'm good to go. ;-)

You know, this will just balloon into something uncontrollable. First, it's the SB, then The World Cup, then the Olympics, then the World Series, etc... Eventually, work will disappear from the face of the earth, nothing gets done, dystopia ensues and we extinct ourselves, all because of this silly pigskin game. :-D
