Was told last week there is a chance we might have to work due to having to support the IT for other people that are working...idiots

Christmas day for me most likely, unfortunately

Xmas Eve, then back to work on 2nd Jan. Nice to work for a company that doesn't need 365 day running.

Although we're not expecting heavy workloads over Christmas, unfortunatley we can't just stop sending Ambulances lol

Volunteering

To be honest I prefer working when the office is quiet, so I'll probably work xmas / new years - no extra money though

PhillyDee · 16 Nov 2008 at 16:33

Nope. Finish on the 22nd, back on the 5th.

Glaucus · 16 Nov 2008 at 16:34

Unfortunately not. finish on the 18th back in on the 3rd.
I would happily work Christmas day triple time +10%, but alas no work on.

Finish on the 19th, back on the 5th Jan. One of the perks of being a teacher.
