No banks = no bank holidays, surely ?
Get back to work

The Clydesdale Bank might have been founded a long time ago and still print it's own banknotes ( like the goernment owned Bank of Scotland and Royal Bank of Scotland ) but it is now a subsidiary of the National Australian Bank (NAB) Group.

Let me guess, you're a reserve / unit bitch - takes one to know one. Was Christmas day & New Year's day your day off ( even though for weeks previously, you always got Tuesday off )? The only time I've had a Saturday off in the last few months has been during A/L!
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Christmas day and New Years day were my days off..
Good Friday and Easter Monday this time around and i am seriously pissed off.
The good news, I always like to look on the positive side, is that you will be owed 1 day for each PH that is your rostered day off.

I never understand why this happens to you guys,i mean,i guess you're allocated a duty,then they can't just change the rest days to suit them.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Can't speak for others, but I'm lumbered with whatever needs covering on a week by week basis ( unless the sh*t hits the fan ) - on a normal week, I always get Tuesday off ( lightest day, easiest to cover I guess ), until my AL a couple of weeks ago, I realised I hadn't had a Saturday off since Christmas & it's just starting to grind my gears. Some duties I have to cover have a rotating day off & some have a rotating week off.

Yep happened to me as well, i kicked up a fuss about being given Good Friday as day off ( day off for walk i was on all week was weds ) and got it changed grudgingly.... and they have put next weeks day off as easter Monday ( i should be off on the Friday as per the walk i am covering ) but i have a cunning plan to get round their $hitty tactics....muhahahahaha

This day of moving thing was mentioned in another thread and someone asked me if there is an agreement on whether managers are allowed to do it willy nily.
Cant rem the thread at the mo.
The thing is i am unsure whether there is any agreement on this,but surely when a duty is made up and signed for because someone else ie a reserve is going on it surely they just can't change the fecking day off!!
For instance reserves sometimes take duties because of their specific day off that week.
This is total bollox what managers are doing.

Your right,the reserve list should still have some form of seniority,as such
you should be able to choose what duty you want do next week,however
this seems to of gone out the window in most places,and as has been
pointed out ,not only do they decided who's doing what they also decide
what day off best suits them!
My day off this week is Friday and I'm sure next week it'll be Monday
