We were told a week ago that we were gonna finish work at 1 today , great we all thought , so everyone,s made plans for this afternoon then they dropped the bombshell on tuesday saying due to the economic climate we,ve now got to work till 4 .

As you can imagine the lads were well pi55ed off about it :cursing::cursing:

Yesterday morning nearly all the power went down in our workplace , no heat , no lights and more importantly no coffee machine :sweatdrop:.

They kept us hanging on but eventually had to let us go at 2 but we had to be in as normal today cos the leccy board were gonna fix it over night , got there this morning still no power , turns out to be a big job so they,ve let us go home again . RESULT

Off down the pub now :thumbup::thumbup:

Haha very nice! I finished at 1pm today as well!! :D

Nice one mate......

 

.......but your bosses certainly have no Christmas sprit:saddam:

 

And using the economic climate as an excuse is poor!! It's precisely for that reason (ie to lift sprits after a "tight" year) that I decided to remain closed today and give everyone the day off on full pay! We also planned on finishing at 4 yesterday but I thought what the hell and let everyone go once they had finished what they had to - so that was around 1pm:cool2:

 

But I'm pleased it all worked out for you in the end - Merry Christmas!!

You got any jobs going?!

 

We normally get let out about 4 on Christmas eve (very generous!), but due to not having done well this year (surprise surprise, being a luxury goods retailer in a depression) we had to stay till 5:30 today, dispite the fact that there were no customers to be seen anywhere. I very nearly told the boss on the way out to listen tonight for the bell to stike one!
