New Year cockup!

Post by Thunderthighs »

I've "lost" a day with this Saturday 26th off/non delivery day shenanigans etc, but was hoping for some good news.
So... I looked at the off duty and the Only, I mean ONLY name with a duty next to it on New Years Day was MINE!!! Out of 80 people. LOL!!!
Ok, so it's typo, but boy do I feel "victimised".

Then, I looked at the following Saturday 2nd Jan, and it say's Day Off. I think I can see what's happened, I was probably supposed to get the short-straw again, and work Saturday, but they got it the wrong way around.
So, I assume I can hold them to this cockup?

Can they rearrange this to their advantage if they realise what they have done?
( I'm a relief, 6yrs service, 30hrs per week.)

take a picture of it and dont bring it to their attention, this happend at my office recently. Do check it again though next week incase they amend their mistake in which case you will get the short straw. If they dont realise then take the 2nd of Jan off work and keep your picture as proof on your phone, also show your union rep but tell him not to tell the managment or get a few witnesses because they may ring you up to come in and try to say it was your mistake.
