Can anyone out there explain to very confused NBC News and MSNBC reporter Dylan Byers why Politico's encouraging staff to take this Friday off?

NBC News and MSNBC senior media reporter Dylan Byers is confused, you guys.

See, it seems that Politico is encouraging teams to take Friday, April 10, off:

This is an odd approach. In the middle of the biggest story of our lives, @Politico is giving “as many teams as possible” a day off on Friday. Why not stagger it across teams? News never sleeps, now more than ever. pic.twitter.com/f0GwH9lhu3

Well, first of all:

Did you not read the rest of the email?

That's literally what the rest of the message after the bolded one says they're doing.

They're…humans? With compassion? And an interest in preserving the mental health of their coworkers?

And finally, who wants to tell him?

It’s a holiday

Nothing odd with giving people the day off on Good Friday.

I’m gonna need that phone, Dylan.

Wishing the best for all my brothers and sisters who observe Holy Week.

Times are tough. Families and livelihoods have been destroyed by this virus. For some, faith is the one constant.

Hats off to @politico for doing this.

Here’s some advice for Dylan going forward:

Mind your own freaking business Karen.
