Holiday Lists

Post by 000000blue »

Hi - my holiday list is based on seniority which, if I understand correctly, isn't how it should be? I didn't get any holiday with my kids at all last year, and only October half term this year. I'm 13th on a list of 15. We put all our weeks in at once, and then are told what we can have, if anything. Wouldn't it be fairer if everyone picked 2 weeks first time round, then a week, then another week?

The thread below has quite a bit in it...

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.

Thanks, much appreciated. Seems to be a long standing issue that never gets resolved. But great that you've taken the time to reply.

acas informed me /us that seniority system is possable illegal as those who are senior will more than likely be older,ie age discrimination..
we now have the same but the top three get moved to the bottom each year.the old guard were not very happy about that one.. :nana
