And a number in our experience are simply hollow empty emails.
Long after they all depart for "festivities" the operation goes on.
And then there are those of us who just accept that I knew from the start that my job involves work during all hours of the day, the year, whatever.
I don’t care if someone working in an office has a great Christmas party and then gets Christmas off, I never attend the staff Christmas party anyway. That’s a benefit of their job.
I get 6 weeks leave per year and flexibility in my roster. They don’t.
What’s your point again Rated?
