Completely shafted over in the christmas rota

I work in a call centre

Everyone has to work 2 out of the 3 bank holidays, I put in my preferred date of Xmas off

I have been scheduled to work Xmas day, new years eve and day

I then have the parents of toddlers asking me to cover their Christmas eve shifts as I am 'childless'. I have found out that the same people do infact have off Xmas day

Apologies, more of a rant but AIBU to be sick of the mentality of 'christmas is for kids'?! Despite me adoring the holiday

My child will only be a young child visited by Father Christmas for a short few years that isn’t a feeling that is a statement of fact

Yes YOUR children will but when they're past that stage they'll have been replaced by other employees who are now parents.

And so the cycle continues and potentially childless people would never ever get Christmas off because there'll always be children

They arent hearing it because they simply dont want to

Love the idea that Father Christmas visiting is 'a statement of fact'. Grin
