Maybe they will make english offices give up the good Friday holiday and give then the 2nd January off instead who knows.

Very little chance the business would do that, and not for fear of profaning the holy (to paraphrase the Communist Manifesto with good reason).

January 3rd is, for many years running, one of the worst days in the calendar for walk failures (I'm talking 95%, rounded down) due to extreme parcel volumes. Rather than repeat that South of the border they would much prefer we were in on the 2nd as well to shift as much Tracked as the hubs can shovel in our direction.

What is the reason for this?

Different parts of the network being off while others are not and vice versa generally causes havoc with the pipeline. The company has been agitating about this for years. They would dearly love to take January 2nd off us.

Every year I get asked if I'm off for the local September fair weekend. It has never been a holiday for me in this job. Aligning with Glasgow was apparently something that was voted into practice when some of our managers weren't born yet.

But this is only one holiday - there are several variances throughout the whole UK with local holidays - Good Friday is one, there are a few in NI too - I take it everything like that might be under threat?

Hate to see the outcry if they took st patricks day or 12th july off ni.things are bad enough as it is lol.
