[Misc] What poor sods are ACTUALLY working christmas this year?

[El Presidente]

No I won't 'press' on further than Lancing

Is that an NSC SCOOP?

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

At my last company we paid our operatives between £800 - £1000 for a 12 hour shift on Christmas day. Still had problems getting enough guys.

[Brighton Mackem]

Off from the 21st to the 1st apart from two days, 25th and 26th

 

[LlcoolJ]

I work from home 90% of the time and I'm self employed so I might do the odd hour here and there over Christmas. A bit like the rest of the year really......

 

[willow147]

Finish on the 17th and go back on 4th Jan BUT, have just been asked if I can be on call everyday (except 25th).

Are you Santa ?

 

[Hamilton]

I'm now ashamed to say that I'm off from the 22nd December - 4th January. Can I bring you workers a sherry and a mince pie?

 

[NickBHAFC18]

Yup, I shall be working 12 hours a day from the 13th till the 4th without a day off. Disadvantages of being in the forces. FML.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Working for my own company means i can work the hours i want as opposed to last year when i worked the Christmas break before i left my old employer. Will check the odd e-mail but probably not a lot more #chilltime

I'll hazard a guess they were overpaid for the other 364 days.

 

[Craven Wine]

Early shift Xmas day!

No, not at all. For a 12 hour day shift about £250 and a 12 hour night shift about £350.

I'd ne happy to work Christmas I hate spending time with the family ... Bah humbug!!!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

First time in twelve years I've had Christmas off Just pot luck with the way my shifts have fallen. Finish on 23rd. Back on the 28th (though I guess that's technically the Christmas Day bank holiday).

Working New Year's Eve, of course. And at the moment, New Year's Day, though I'll be getting somebody else to take that shift for obvious reasons.

 

[Jbanged]

ouch! Best of luck with the recovery fella.

OUCH - that sounds nasty - hope all is recovering

Thanks!!

Recovery is going much better than what was originally expected.
