When are you finishing for Xmas and how long for?

[inbetween]

I cannot understand how half the country has a fortnight off work over the Xmas/NY period.

We get hols taken off us for Xmas shutdown, for this year its 3 days for the Xmas week and 1 for New Years Eve.

It's cheaper to shutdown than having everything turned on onsite to provide for a skeleton staff.

Our latest finish date is next Friday but I'm taking time back to finish next Wedesnday and then not back in until Weds 2nd so 2 weeks off.

July 2014, not had the financial need to go back yet & never missed work at all.

Wondered how you had time to do the Guess Scores! ;)

All but Christmas and Boxing Day.

Can some of you lucky people who will be spending the entire festive period with your feet up.....please inform me what your occupation is? and more aptly,are there vacancies at your place?

I have saved up a wedge of annual holidays, and also some TOIL for worked weekends/bank holidays earlier in the year. I'm likely to be working away for a lot of Apr and Jun/Jul next year, and some odd days later in the year; around 12 weeks in total but possibly more (UK and USA, also possibly AUS), so I'm taking as much as I can now.

Fair play mate,sounds well earned.
