Re: Post Offices to close at 12pm Christmas Eve
Was told I'm working 6am til 11am, then 10am til 3pm was my shift. So...where's this 12noon coming from?
The land of RM Fantasy, perhaps?
"Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas..."
Also, when I ASK for Saturdays off, don't get it.
But...this week, guess what day off I got?
Cigar to that man in the back, YES! Saturday.
RM Policy; We're flexible, as long as the flexibilty bends our way only.

Re: Post Offices to close at 12pm Christmas Eve
That is so true. Just got my annual leave form for next year. Of my 23.5 day entitlement, I have been allocated 18 days over Apr/May and the remaining days not until Jan 2011! Granted, I didn't request any specific weeks off because I wasn't really that fussed but I seriously didn't expect this was a possibility.Thunderthighs wrote:Was told I'm working 6am til 11am, then 10am til 3pm was my shift.
