Annual Leave, one would assume is to "recharge the batteries" and give a healthy balance to ones life. However, in my company taking 2 weeks offI get a ridiculous roster giving me a full hours schedule. So really all that is happening is I am working the same in a more condensed manner to get my days off in a row.
I believe many Airlines are like this. How many other professions are still asked to do their full months work in 2 weeks in order to get this leave??
I find it completely counterproductive to get a "break" only having to bust my balls when I get back.
End result, I'm knackered again and ready for more leave
