Its an odd day, the shop I work in opens as normal, its classed as a bank holiday, so we volunteer to work for an overtime rate or take it as one of the 8 bank holiday days we have as part of our holiday package.
For me I didn’t volunteer to work, but on the other hand I didn’t book it off, got to Thursday and got dragged into the bosses office as they wanted me to work, I pointed out I hadn’t volunteered so was going biking, they said I hadn’t booked it off, to which I replied prove it show me my holiday meeting form (knowing damn well they never do these for managers!) so catch 22. Needless to say I went biking this morning, lovely day for a day off!!
They did get there own back, im scheduled to work 3-12 tomorrow evening to lock down the shop, more fool them, I can go biking in the morning as well now!!
