Black Friday is one of those "Holidays" that is not actually a holiday, but given the national tryptophan hangover and killer deals, no one will be working today. That's why you need a smart scheduling assistant like Workmate to understand when to schedule your meetings and when not to schedule your meetings. Because no one wants to be taking a zoom call whilst missing out on the best deals of the year!

Did you know you can block out holidays, out of office days, travel days, or even peak shopping days with just an email? Yeah. it's that easy.
