Did work get you a Xmas gift?

[explicit4u]

Looks like I've been given the gift of working either side of the Christmas weekend, so no break over the holiday period despite the department I support not being on site during this time.

Nice to be informed the week before

Until this year it's always been the worst kept secret that we finish at 1400 on the last day before Christmas eve/Christmas eve. Always been a "It'll be confirmed on the morning", they actually gave us 2 weeks notice this year

I remember some years ago when we had a notices put up around 6 weeks before Christmas saying we be finishing at around 12.00 on both Christmas eve & new year eve..

Boss came in on both them days in a very bad mood and made everyone work till 6pm

 

[Itchytrigg]

We got 2 company days off given but only told last week after communications to clients about availability had already gone out so not everyone can actually take it off…also received about £5 worth of chocolates today which probably cost another £5 to send.

Not their most generous this year…

Well, my work is sending me something today so I can see what I get compared with my OP last year.

To be honest though, I was expecting very little as they paid me a bonus only recently.

 

[Azza]

Nope, wouldn't want anything. But I do have 32 days holiday still to take before the start of April so guess I'll have a month off.

 

[something daft already!!]

I got a nasty sickness/ Diarrhoea bug which could last up to 2 weeks.

 

[glenimp617]
