Comment on Should I ask my boss for tomorrow off?

Sounds like you’re salaried. Generally those jobs care about getting your work done more than watching a clock or waiting for phones to ring
If you have a decent boss, explaining what happened and asking if you can just take off a different day this coming week would probably be fine, even if Tuesday isn’t feasible on such short notice. Personally, I’d be gunning for Friday (assuming you have the normal weekend days off)
If that conversation is considered a problem, then it’s time to see if the company’s competitors are hiring for your position

This is the actual answer. My boss is awesome and this isn’t really a problem.
I mostly just felt the urge to revel in my stupidity once I realized what happened 🫠
It explained why it was such a nice quiet day. I was able to get more than usual done 😅

I am a manager for a remote team. Sometimes I screw up and forget to double remind the team about holidays. Sometimes I remember but they forget anyways.
Either way, I’m not going to screw someone out of a day of PTO; I’ll usually suggest the coming Friday off as an alternative.
I would be honest, it’s a funny mistake and worth a quick laugh.
