Yes and those senior men have been in your position you will get your turn.

YEAH YEAH...i have heard all that nonsense before, we had to go through this , we had to go through that...blah blah blah, firstly 2 wrongs do not make a right, secondly the 'Senior man' gets the full six weeks holiday entitlement, he gets to pick a duty it seems as and when he likes, and he picks whatever holiday he chooses, he doesnt get asked to put out the d2d, he doesnt get asked to throw off other peoples d2d....shall i go on??? You could have an individual who is inept, rude, timekeeping is poor, sickness is poor, attitude is poor, but because he has managed to survive being sacked for 20years he gets rewarded....what a wonderful corrupt system.

:Boo hoo!

You can always quit too! :hmmmm
Of course i could...but i think i might just hold on and see how the likes of you fare in the new world....not very well i think.

Why should one person have priority over another?

My office uses the block system which moves each year so ever 6/7 years............you get a good slot.

Other than the 20 year bit that sounds more like the new starters to me Sharky! :roll:
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

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!

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.

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! :nana

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 about
