What a way to finish 2010 :groan:

I worked about eight New Years Eves in a row when I lived in South Canterbury - the peas still needed to be harvested at midnight (24x7 usually) and they didn't even stop the line to say happy new year. But we only worked twelve hour night shifts, and we got to yahoo at our lunch break at 1.30 am. And you tell that to the young folk today and they won't believe ya (yes the four yorkshire man strike yet again).

1164186 2010-12-22 10:03:00 Meh, I've got to work the day after new years... no piss up for me at all. Oh, and a shift manager dislocated her knee and now shes off for five weeks at least, so I'll probably be filling most of her shifts, while people whine because I'm not a shift manager and I can't make a coffee to save my behind. ubergeek85 (131)

1164190 2010-12-22 11:16:00 Don't you get 1.5x pay on Christmas Eve? Or any public holidays/day of significance/etc? qazwsxokmijn (102)

Christmas and New Years eve isn't a public holiday.

Unfortunately, work sorts it out so that they give the minimum amount of days in lieu out.

So I'm not working ANY public holidays over xmas/new years.
