This yr bit of a result with me shift,fin morn of Chrimbo eve, but then back in working over before & over New yrs eve...so can’t complain at all really...👍
Out of work but never understood wasting holidays at this dark, cold time of year. Accepted company shut downs, of dubious legality, but worked most days offered.
I finish at 5:30 today until 30th. I am sooooooo board today, i got loads done while everyone else was at the Christmas lunch the other day but cant leave as my boss might have someone coming in me late that i would need to see.

Tuesday meant to finish at 1, but I’ll be gone by 11. Out on the Monday evening so highly unlikely I will even make it in. Not back until 6th January. Cannot wait for almost two weeks off work.
Just left and on the train home. Back Mon 20th Jan. Onlly used 12 days leave. One of the only advantages of working for a University.
I too work in a well known west end university but I have only just got home. Some of us have social obligations with colleagues that have to be met. So far I’ve met these obligations four times in the past week. Best place I have ever worked.
Working on Xmas Eve. Back on Friday 27th then working the 30th and 31st. Back on the 6th. Frontline local authority. Lucky not to be working Xmas Day or New Year.
Was scheduled to do both Xmas and boxing day this year. Managed to get a swap for Xmas day back in the summer. Got a call from a colleague on Wednesday desperate for me to cover him this Saturday night. So desperate was he that he's offered to do my Boxing day! Win win.. Back on 27th

@JohnBoyUK are you obliged to use your leave when the Uni is closed for holidays?
Or anyone who works for a business that shuts down , I would be pissed off at having to use X amount of days leave at Christmas through no choice of my own or is a week off at Christmas just bonus days?

We’re forced to use leave between Xmas and new year. The principle is annoying but I’d always take it anyway so I don’t mind too much.
