Re: School holidays
Why should one person have priority over another?

I think you are in for some nasty shocks in the near future, your safety net of seniority is about to expire, and good riddance too.

I would love to fight my course against you and the rest of the fossil factory but i have 2 young sons that would like a bedtime story, so i will read to them while you spin your fairytales to others. i dont have the patience or desire to try and explain to you what i think deep down you can work out for yourself, i would like to say its been a pleasure but we both know it will be a lie....goodnight and goodbye!

Re: School holidays
Believe me i am not giving in..i am warming up, if you have not already guessed..seniority really pisses me off and i am known in my office for being an easy windup on it, but i will fight my corner and for those that are unable to speak up for themselves, and everything i said earlier i stand by, i am not the junior boy some may think i am, i have a good duty, regular overtime, holidays when i like, within reason, but i see all that is wrong and bad with the institutionalised that is seniority, i look forward to our next debate with glee.Judgee wrote:Night Night Sharky.... try not to give in so easily next time!

Soooo as a protest you will be giving up your nice duty for a bad one, giving up your regular overtime and handing over all your holiday choices to someone else that needs them? No didn't think so!

Re: School holidays
I say nice duty, because it is....to me, i am about 170 on our seniority list, to a lot its shite, all i am saying is there should be a fair chance for all when it comes to holiday picks, as this thread implies afterall it is what this is aboutJudgee wrote:sharky0308 wrote:Believe me i am not giving in..i am warming up, if you have not already guessed..seniority really pisses me off and i am known in my office for being an easy windup on it, but i will fight my corner and for those that are unable to speak up for themselves, and everything i said earlier i stand by, i am not the junior boy some may think i am, i have a good duty, regular overtime, holidays when i like, within reason, but i see all that is wrong and bad with the institutionalised that is seniority, i look forward to our next debate with glee.Judgee wrote:Night Night Sharky.... try not to give in so easily next time!
