23rd December Night shift.........anyone going in?

Post by wolves2011 »

We will finish 6am on Christamas eve! The reason I ask is that casuals are decreasing in number by the day. I just wonder if it will be really quiet or maybe the same amount of work because there are fewer workers?

Does anyone know if having a day off without letting them know, penalise you for more than that days work? Does it ruin any holiday/bonus day if we do? Which I am not sure we get anyway :hmmmm

It doesn't penalise you but it's pretty rubbish way to go about it. I'm sure plenty of people would be grateful for the work. I did the 23rd nightshift last year it wasn't hectic n there was a nice atmosphere. Also if there are more friday payday problems you've severed your chances to get any answers from your managers if you're not in. If you're not going in, tell somebody. So they then have an idea of what they've got to work with.

Some people have to work on xmas day so a 6am xmas eve finish is nothing really.
