So you explain how I'm supposed to get them??? Do I just phone up on a Monday morning and tell them I'll not be in because I'm taking my leave??

If you can't get them then you can't take them, now I would really like you to explain in very simple words (you can use capitals if you really want) how I can get them, and then you can explain how all the rest in my office can get them too. I await with baited breath for your top notch information.

BTW our of 40 duties we can only have 2 off otherwise the whole office grinds to a halt (just like this week when there was 3 off and all hell has broken loose).

i have heard on the grape vine that royal mail will be stopping all leave from xmas eve to new years eve from 2012

comments on this people but it is unconfirmed
When we picked this years leave we were told we were'nt alllowed to book the week between xmas & new year. I've had that week off for the past 7 years so was gutted.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Some of you are being seriously had over.

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Way forward,only xmas pressure weeks are holidays supposed to be blocked.
The Christmas pressure period, determined by the operational unit, will be a closed period for leave.

If you've seen the slideshow you will have seen....

Good manpower planning with a restriction on annual leave in the weeks prior to Xmas pressure

That isn't in the Way Forward either but it's there in black and white for HQ to see. :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
