As we are getting closer to Christmas we got onto the subject of working Christmas Day
Now because of the way our shift falls we will work much more Christmas' than have off. It should work out that they are spread evenly over the years but the leap year losses us time off.
Well to add to the joy of working on Christmas day we have just been told that we are not even getting paid double wage like we have every other year, which made it a little easier.
He won't even let us book Christmas off between us. Big blanket ban for a four week period. We all get paid extra for working weekends, nights and bank holidays but out of our groups only half of us work most the holidays.
Only recently did we have to force him through HR to pay us for attending team meeting on our days off.
I have also been promoted to being in charge of a team and have a promise of extra money when the red tape allows it. Been saying this for 2 years now.
He on the other hand is just about to take his 4th holiday and currently looking at buying another new car and house.
So who else out there has a Scrooge for a boss? Could be worse I guess
