Long story short, my annual leave has been cancelled. If they're asking g you I'd have been looking for the days back and paid at time and a half at the very minimum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my previous employers was notorious for pulling the "sorry, we need you at work" trick in March, followed by "annual leave doesn't carry over into the next financial year" when the 6th of April came round. More than one employer, thinking about it. 7 minutes ago, Derry Alli said: If they're asking g you I'd have been looking for the days back and paid at time and a half at the very minimum. Apparently the home manager is going to contact HO to ensure that I am still paid for it. Will believe that when I see it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand and appreciate there is a norovirus outbreak at work right now, which has also left us massively understaffed, but still. Was asked this once…said “yes, I could, but I would not”…thank God for a strong Union contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you need a union to answer that question? You are either willing to cancel or not and surely can answer accordingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Contestants on Bargain Hunt that scream at the auction for people to bid more.

You are either willing to cancel or not and surely can answer accordingly. Because Texas is a “Right to Work” state, which basically means you can be fired for nearly any reason. A Union contract that outlines how they may cancel approved leave was in place, and they missed the window to cancel it. 8 hours ago, SlipperyP said: He lives in Texas, from knowledge the union was the Northern States, where he comes from, in truer words, He'd be lynched, for thinking of a day off. Not quite right…come, most recently, from Suffolk to the South. However, the aversion to taking days off in the U.S., as it is showing a lack of dedication, is real. 8 hours ago, hk blues said: Aye, being from Texas I'd have thought he'd have been battering the union, not asking for help. Unions in the U.S. have been gutted since the ‘70’s, but they are still reasonably present and powerful. Open Shop Laws, requiring the Union to represent you regardless of membership or not, and denying the ability of the Union to even charge any dues to cover those required actions performed for non-members, took their toll. The worm may be turning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) Down to using a cash machine once a month, card for most things these days. Got someone to pay and a couple of things this weekend, I usually take out about 80-100 for the whole month I case I need cash, or want to use in shop or pub. Today I took out 200, and got £160 in tenners and £40 in fivers.....WTF HSBC on Union St in Aberdeen gives out fivers and I've ended up with a wad of notes stupid size.

Derry Alli Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Booked on a 16:30 flight, work tried to squeeze one more job in and I said fine but don't change flight (that one would get me back here for 16:00 but 80% chance it wouldn't take off). Ot never took off, my work changed my flight home to 19:45 and now I can't get back on earlier flight as its booked out and I'm stuck in airport drinking shit coffee with nothing to do contemplating battering some c**t on the earlier flight to make space for me. Paid or not, I'm pissed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
