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.
