Following on from the "mumtitlement" thread, I wonder what your views are on this, which happened in my office a year ago.
Work team where no more than two people are allowed to have leave at the same time, to provide cover.
Eight months in advance, childless female books a certain Thursday and Friday off. This is approved by the manager.
Two weeks in advance, childless devout Muslim female requests the Thursday off as it is Eid. She could not book the actual day any earlier because the actual date had not been declared.
On the same day, mother of two under 10's asks for the Thursday off on the grounds that her children's school has announced it will be closed for the day as over 50% of children (and a fair number of staff) will be celebrating Eid and whatever is done that day will need to be repeated.
Who gets the day off, and who doesn't?
