Jack Dorsey runs both Square and Twitter. Square employees are getting the day off while Twitter is still at work, given it's a big day for the social media company.
Yet, this year some tech companies are introducing a new one: getting Election Day off to vote.
Hunter Walk of Homebrew Ventures started the "Take Off Election Day" movement and has been keeping a running tally of companies that have promised to give their employees the day off.
So far, more than 340 companies of all sizes and industries have pledged to give their employees a free holiday, including Patagonia, Columbia University, Ford, and General Motors. Others, like Slack, are letting employees volunteer their time for the elections instead of coming into work.
