Are you working over Christmas?

[FBi7]

I am.

The way my shifts have fallen this year are day shifts 24th and 25th, night shifts on 26th and 27th. I can't really complain too much as I have New Year off and I had both Christmas and New Year off last year.

Just interested to see how many of you are in the same boat as me?

 

[Hyburnate]

Nope, I'm ""finished" now... Though the phone calls will continue. First real time off since pre-lockdown so looking forward to chilling

 

[Glanza]

Not on the main days but working between Xmas and New Year.

Finished on 11th dec. Back jan 4th

Finished on 11th dec. Back jan 4th

That's quite impressive!

 

[LewisRaz]

That's quite impressive!

Its good, although it is made possible because our company uses an "annual hours" system where we work more hours than we are paid for if there is demand for it and bank those hours. At the end of the year we are either paid out those hours as OT or given them back as time off.. This year we had almost 2 weeks of banked hours!

I always work Christmas to give my colleagues with kids the chance to spend the time with them. The holiday isn't special to me in any way shape or form other than a proper good dinner.

 

[Siliconslave]

I've just had my Christmas holiday, back to work doing bloody RFPs mostly - what is it with companies asking for bids over holidays while they naff off

As always in these threads at this time of year, I know we have some health workers and emergency workers on here so would like to thank you to you all seems more apt this year than ever

I have leave booked and approved, until my boss flatly refused to work Christmas. So I cancelled it.
I do have NY off though, 30th to 3rd.

 

[m@rty]

Finished until the 6th Jan

 

[rodders]

I finished at lunch time today, back on 4th Jan

 

[scrivz69]

Finished a 2-10 shift yesterday and back on the 2nd, seems pointless really, just going to be stuck at home most of it.

 

[sanaxe1]

I broke up mid March for Christmas and will be back at the end of April.

 

[Haze]

I'm on call, fingers crossed no problems

That is most kind of you. Well played.

Hear hear.

Incidentally I am off from 18th Dec till 4th Jan.
But I am sure I will get some phone emergencies and what not.
I am thankful for this time off.

 

[bainbridge]

I'll be working apart from the actual bank hols and weekends.

It's always the way that I've rinsed my holiday entitlement yet again so have no holiday left to take!

 

[montymint]

Yup, I support software in the Gas and Leccy industry.

 

[ttaskmaster]

I will be, if I get lucky and something really bad happens.
I ******* hate Christmas and would be quite happy about getting out to work instead. I had plans to keep myself busy in the kitchen, but Uncle Boris decided we couldn't have people over this year, so those have been scuppered.

 

[omnomnom]

Finished on the 11th (well garden leave) and back on the 18th Jan.
