These things make a difference to our opinions don’t they. So what are you childcare options then OP?ĭo you have family to help, a healthy salary so that nursery or holiday club fees are manageable? Do you work full time or are you p/t or stay at home? It was a mammoth task and obviously can only work if someone is prepared to take that on. I think in 20 years I had one Christmas where I got down to the last place for Christmas Day and had two staff who wanted it, we agreed one would work the morning and the other than afternoon so both got time with their families. Some staff without children would volunteer to cover staff with young children. Some staff who would be alone for Christmas/New Year would volunteer to work, maybe the money or maybe they didn't want to be home alone or maybe they were just being nice to other staff.ĥ. Jewish staff would swap Hanukkah for Christmas.Ĥ. Orthodox staff would work Christmas and New Year so they could have a break for Orthodox Christmas.ģ. Young staff were often willing to do a Christmas shift so they could have New Year off.Ģ. We couldn't let everyone have holidays at Christmas obviously but it normally worked out with:ġ. I used to do rotas in my old job, staff needed 24 hrs a day 365 days a year. Obviously awkward if your partner is a teacher. Needless to say, the original schedule was restored, both Biatch and supervisor got a stern talking-to about favoritism, and that s**t stopped cold.ĭon't know if you are in England but as soon as I wasn't tied to school holidays I loved it, June and most of July are generally better than late July and August in my opinion. I called the Area Manager and told him what was going on, and that it needed to stop, or the union would find out about it. Lo and behold, I was working all 4 of those days, and Biatch had them instead! I decided Oh. Anyway, she and the supervisor put their heads together, and suddenly there was a change to the already posted and finalized schedule. Biatch always managed to be off at least one weekend day every week. Off! Let me just say, they were not weekend days and were considered shitty the rest of the year. My second year there, my days off just happened to fall on both Christmas Eve and Day, New Years Eve and Day. Had a shift job-luckily a government job with a union-where the bitch who was cozy with the female supervisor was also suffering from the delusion she was untouchable.
