Re: who got da most/least time off
 

None at all, as always, and just the way I like it. (Although I might have to 'work from home' dec 25th, as we have no flights or fire cover).
Freezing cold, no shops open, pubs heaving - why would you want time off this time of year?

Re: who got da most/least time off
 

Not taken personally.

Fact is that if everyone wants all their time off in the summer, it's impossible to run the business. Not just mine, applies to any business. Question is - who manages what - if your team are managing you, then something is very wrong.

Re: who got da most/least time off
 

Could you not just have a stricter summer leave policy? Like a minimum of 3 months notice for anything more than 3 days off in a row, or no more than two staff absent at once? In my last job the place would shut down over christmas, it was a nightmare trying to organise everything.

Re: who got da most/least time off
 

Ditto. Not fussed about it.

Re: who got da most/least time off
 

Nice idea but unworkable in practice, because everyone always says on Thursday or Friday 'I've found a late deal to go to [wherever] and so I'd like next week off please'.

Neither of Sarah and Rebecca have kids, so they generally don't ask for time off in school holidays, and in fact prefer not to go when all the kids are off. Makes it a bit easier as we have a 9yo, so we're stuck with high prices and crowds:rolleyes:

Re: who got da most/least time off
 

I use xmas, as time to be with my family and friends, I find its the one time of year that a lot of people make the effort to get togther, when I get togther with my cousions there about 12-14 of us last count, I'm the oldest so we tend to find ways to annoy the rest of family;)

Long as I had xmas day off, I didn't mind, but I would like more leave just have a break really, its been busy and stressful the past few months.

....yeah I'm the same about leave in winter as well, I much prefer having time off in the summer.

Re: who got da most/least time off
 

I shal be having new years eve and new years day off. That is all. Bloody pub industry, I'm even working Christmas day! :-(

Re: who got da most/least time off
 

I'm working all the normal days plus on call Christmas Eve til 6am Christmas Day so I might see Father Christmas delivering! (Hope not to have to go out though) Wish I had a day or two more off but that's life as Esther Rantsen sang once.........
