There are only ten federal holidays. If you are working in the states, you get most of not all of them.

MLK, Washington's Birthday, Labor Day, and Columbus Day are particularly frequently not granted by private employers. Columbus Day and MLK are each not given by some nonfederal public employers (to my knowledge, a non-overlapping set.)

Labor Day is most definitely granted, as is MLK, at the big techs.

I’m sure most full time employees get Labor Day off actually. That’s the whole point of it actually.

I know from previously working there that Microsoft gives all public holidays. When I started you had floating holidays you could take for some (MLK, Columbus etc) but now all are given. Wouldn't be surprised to learn it's the same at Google, FB et al.
