Here in the UK, you are required 11 hours rest time in between shifts.
I checked my rota to see that I finish at 2am on Friday night, and start at 10:30am on Saturday. Giving me only 8.5 hours in between.
I’m not fucking doing that.
I spoke to my manager (GM is on holiday, and he didnt write this weeks rotas,) who instantly got defensive and said he couldnt change it.
He tried to say “well I’m having to do 40 hours this weekend,” and I go “okay, thats on you. I’m not doing that because its illegal, and I need rest.”
He doubled down and insisted that there was nothing he could do about it, so I said “I either start at 12, or finish at 12.”
He finally caved and changed it. I now have 10.5 hours in between shifts, which is still illegal, but I know he wont budge any more.
What a dickhead.
