Where has my post gone Re: colleague wanting me to work Christmas Eve?

[Birdy65]

I posted earlier today to get opinions on a situation I am experiencing at work. Since I posted I've been out for the day and have just returned to find out my post has been taken down.
I'm not sure what the problem was, but when I've tried to view the thread it just states that mumsnet need to look into what has happened. Can anyone enlighten me? I'm intrigued how my dilemma caused offence or any other problem.

Thanks for that!

Phew. I was expecting to be banned from MN at the very least. But then I was brought up to feel guilty for 'most everything

Yes we all agreed it was your turn to have Christmas Eve off.

"Poor Sue" needs to get a grip and do her fair share of unpopular shifts.Be ready for her getting in straight after Christmas to book her AL for next Christmas Eve, and make sure you book your AL for Christmas Eve 2020 straight after Christmas next year.

Unless of course in the meantime you can agree to work alternate years.

I can't believe anybody books AL for their wedding anniversary.

Unpopular shifts need to be shared out fairly amongst those who cop for them. There are CF everywhere who will manipulate others to their own advantage.

If you want every wedding anniversary off then get married in May or September outside of the school holidays and absolutely no-one will have a problem with this.

Just to add our anniversary on 27th August, usually falls around the time of the August Bank Holiday, but in 36 years I have never requested this off work. It is still possible to celebrate on another day if colleagues with school age children are on annual leave.

Having children shouldnt come into it People should take turns regardless. It doesnt matter if you are a childfree person planning to just sit and mainline a tub of Roses on Christmas Eve.

If its your turn its your turn.

Same goes for the summer holidays.
