do you work your day off?
I would like to gauge the way the company manages the 5 day week in individual offices, in my particular office we had the option a few years back to work our day off as S/A or take it off, the majority of guys took the former, it works as a rolling day, Mon one week, Tuesday next week ..ect.
in another office in my town they had the option of 5 weeks on the one week off, again many of the guys work their week off.
so how does YOUR office manage your 5 day week?

Re: do you work your day off?
I'm far too knackered to work my day off, people who do must have easy walks or still be the right side of 40 
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Rather than offering the full 8hr shift they are lapsing the IPS and prep and only paying for the delivery....and he's pissed off about it.redrobber wrote:I've tried reading this many times and cant understand what the fook it means.

I wish!I'm far too knackered to work my day off, people who do must have easy walks or still be the right side of 40
I'm afraid that I don't meet your criteria on either count.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
