The plan was to watch a gig with my Mrs and some old friends I haven't seen for a couple of years and, as the title says this had been booked in since last July. Today I was informed that I'm going to have to work 4 days of my holiday week because a duty manager has basically messed up and accepted too many holidays from too many people. This isn't the first time I've had difficulty in actually getting my holiday time, despite booking it months in advance. I told them that they can basically fuck off, but what should I do? It seems every time I book time off there are always “circumstances” that justifies (in their mind) a reason to stop me from taking my time off.

Thank you, work shitters
Many of us can’t do so due to constraints outside of our control (such as feeling uncomfortable doing so in public), and you are doing good praxis in reclaiming your labor value.
Just spent nearly an hour in a webinar just for them to announce they only pay commission for a role that's 40 hours per week. So in other words I'd be working full time but only getting paid if I make sales, despite the job posting not specifying that it was a sales role. Immediately left the meeting and recinded my application.
