So it's last day before our office breaks up for the holidays tomorrow. We are been asked, If given the opportunity would you like to take UPL (unpaid Leave ) tomorrow, or come in and work till 5pm.
I have all my xmas shopping to do tomorrow, and would prefer to get it done before xmas eve. Im in a quandary....... :-\
Unpaid leave?
What a tight bunch of cunts. What's another days pay to a company? "Oh, we must give the shareholders who do nothing their dividend. Let's fleece the factor of production that keeps the ship afloat". I say it again, tight fisted bunch of cunts.
Ba humbug and all of that.
I'm not sure, I guess if you have stuff to do it's better than doing it on Saturday. Still, I think it sucks "you can work or have the day off, but if you don't come in we aren't paying you". What kind of weird arsed choice is that? :-\
They have done the same thing the past two years, I've chosen to come in both years, and bearing in mind the last two years it's been xmas eve! last year we got away at 12:30, the year before 12, so when they say we will be here till 5pm i do doubt it, but ya never know with this place !Quote:

Take the money it will be an easy days work.
Give it all up.
Don't go to work.
Don't buy any Christmas Presents
Become a monk and live a nomadic monastic existence like Kwai Chang Caine
He kicked serious ass
Well decided to come in this morning, we have been told we can get away at 12:30, Ha, knew they would buckle under the Christmas spirit and let us go home early :)
Whoop Whoop :newdb:
why didnt you just phone in sick ?
Ya dont get paid for sick days, also, if your off the day before a bank holiday or the day after then they dont pay ya for the BH, a way of cutting out all the supposed sick days either side of them. They a quite sneaky like that.
