always funny to me that you can leave a job in 2 weeks but changing broadband requires 30 day notice

holidays can only be booked after 6 weeks, which ties into the rota setting. i cannot know in advance what shifts are working and non working outside the 6 weeks

i have a legitimate work reason to book at the en of march, i need to do my car mot!

i booked this in december, started work on the 20th october and this is the pro rated 28 days statutory leave.

they’re arguing that earlier dates were available though it wasn't clear to me i’m risking holiday allowance by booking at the end of the year.

what do you think, is this legal?

02.03.2026 22:33 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

at work i'm losing my statutory leave because they’ve scheduled me as non-working on the 31st march that i'd booked as holiday. this has been returned as holiday allowance but obviously cannot be used this financial year.

they have a use it or lose it policy.

yeah, people tend to not upgrade until they damage their phone but then they'll go for the latest even if there's not much change on models i find
