Work in a very small team within a large organisation - manager, me, one person below me. This means when one of us is off, the other (usually me) picks up the work to cover.
Within the organisation you can apply to purchase additional leave and if it meets business need, you can purchase 5 days extra (maximum).
manager has decided that in addition to this, he will work additional Mondays (he works condensed hours Tues-Fri) to enable him to take ‘in advance toil’. These Mondays are admin days at home.
once every 4-6 weeks, he announces that he has holiday booked. He is so impressed with how clever he is being to be able to do this.
he doesn’t pay any regard to his work diary and during this leave and so it falls to me to pick it up. It’s often booked last minute. He’s essentially ‘banking’ an additional day every week meaning 40ish additional days leave on top of A/L entitlements and the purchased leave.
I am heavily pregnant and it is really causing additional strain having to cover but they feel they are doing nothing wrong. Big boss is very hands off and their stance is they don’t care as long as the work is being done - which it is, by me.
AIBU?!
