Nearly everyone in my office have the full six weeks, therefore all slots are full, leaving no where to take odd days that are owed.
this is a national problem and should be taken up at national level
Good point
Yes.
If people were only allowed 1 week holiday every 2 years then there would be loads of empty slots for those odd days. :crazy:
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Got to agree this was never a good idea from the start , exactly why leave is at a premium.

The problem is your managers inability to manage the system and not the fact we are allowed 6 weeks holiday each year.
Allowing us less holiday wouldn't solve the incompetence of management.

For once I agree with you,the system of buying holidays has been in place for long enough for the idiots in charge to find a solution,there wasn't a problem 5 or 6 years ago.Endless cost cutting and clueless management have created the problem
