What time are you finishing for the Xmas break. My staff want to finish at 12noon on Friday 22nd. I don't agree with this, yeh OK finish at 12 on the 24th but on the 22nd seems a tad early!! Am I being too harsh with them?

We get to finish at 2 on Friday- if we have enough hours up on our card cos we work flexi-time

We're heading home at 12.30 yipeeeeee! We're quite lucky but i guess it's at the discretion of the manager/supervisor.

Johnh - Maybe a bit harsh, it's the last working day before christmas!

We finish on Thursday.

I finish today at 2.00 till 2nd Jan:banana: :banana:

5pm Friday. :cry:

Could be, may have a rethink tonight!! Its just that the Christmas break seems to be getting like 'Bonfire Week' and 'Halloween Week' Its getting extended more and more every year and becoming more americanised. Bahhhh! Humbug!!

4pm friday. Really shouldn't need to finish at 12pm when its only 22/12.

Make a deal with them; If they want to finish early fine but their pay stops at 12 too:thumbsup:

Finish tomorrow (Thursday) as early as possible!

Next time I have a supervisors job going Turbo, I'll PM you!! My thoughts exactly! The thing that gets to me is they expect it and a given right!

Finish tomorrow (Thursday) as early as possible!
Straight down to Tony's for the Xmas lunch then is it??

If you're paying them personally, I'd draw every drop out of them I could, on the other hand, if you're just a jumped up supervisor, what's it to you? there's alcohol to be drunk!

What you guys do Johnh got any jobs going LOL

:banana: we finish tomorrow till 2nd of january

I work in an office and we are finishing at around 12.30 to go to the pub for the afternoon
yey cant wait :clap: :banana: :clap:

We finish at 12.30 but everywhere else is shut give them a break John why have miserable staff who arnt really being productive anyway. When you let them go early and they respect you abit more and will stay later when you do really need them. I run an office and all year my staff work hard and when required what is one afternoon

Finish 12.30 Friday and return 2nd Jan, had to use up two days unused holiday but would have lost it anyway. Sorry for any of you guys who are manning the sales etc in town; but I promise that I won't be bothering you.

All the best to everyone. :thumbsup:

I totally agree with Work1, you will earn more respect from your staff. It is only Christmas once a year so where's the harm in leaving early on the last day.:loopy:

It looks like we'll be stuck in the office until 5:30 on Friday:(

This is for Johnh and Turbo!

Get a life its christmas!! you both sound like mardy ba**ards.

My manager is letting us leave at 12.30, i work my hardest all year and he respects that and gives something back for all our hard work!

I dont think id ever want to work for such two mardy gits like you!! your staff should quit!:|

I'm finishing at 10pm tonight! :suspect:

4pm today until the 3rd of Jan :banana: :banana:

Yey we finish at 12pm on Friday too, im soooooo happy! :)

Finish at 5pm tomorrow, then its the office party and then I'm flying home for 6 days and then I don't go back to work till the 2nd

:banana: :clap:

Only for 5 days :P

Our paths won't collide :P

We have to stay here till 4.30 on Friday even tho all the clients that our team deal with finish at 12.00. Can you beleive that. Now i accept what turbo was saying about you shouldn't get to finish earlier automatically. But to keep us for the sake of it is just reidiculous. And guess what The gaffer conveniently has a hospital appt at 2 so is finishing dinner. WTF IS that about!!!!!!!!!!!

Im working all the crimbo weekend and christmas day( i work in an old gits.... sorry.....peoples home:mad: ) yey me :mad: not

Poor you!:gag: But, finally, someone worse off then me!;)

Our paths won't collide :P

Avoiding me? :confused: :suspect:

What time are you finishing for the Xmas break. My staff want to finish at 12noon on Friday 22nd. I don't agree with this, yeh OK finish at 12 on the 24th but on the 22nd seems a tad early!! Am I being too harsh with them?If you would normally give them half a day off each year they are losing out because of Christmas Eve being on Sunday which they would have off anyway. I'm working a full day on Saturday.

finish tomorrow at 3pm then back on the 2nd woohoo

I finish friday til 2nd Jan! can't wait! I hope santa realises how good I've been this year!

Anytime now... just waiting for the email from the principals secretary... grrr!

Avoiding me? :confused: :suspect:

Why on earth would i do that :suspect:

Am I being too harsh with them?Are you really a boss/manager asking on a forum if you should or shouldnt let your staff out early ? Dose your job involve making decisions on your own in other matters ? I like to think if I asked my boss to let me home early it was based totally on his own decision, not by a bunch of strangers. If I was a boss and had staff ask me, It would be down too matters like do they do overtime when needed etc.

I might get to finish slightly early, but I can't see it will be much before 4. :(
Still I guess its not Christmas Eve.

I finish as soon as I've completed a report, today. I have booked the next 2 days off as I'm going to a wedding tomorrow. :)

i finished today at 12.30 and went for xmas meal, back 3rd jan

woo hoo!:hihi:

Poor you!:gag: But, finally, someone worse off then me!;)
Thanx:( :( :(

I finished yesterday:thumbsup:

Someone once said to me. . "you can tell how important your job is, by when your needed to work". . so spare a thought for those that will be workin' through the christmas period just so you don't have to.

For the record, I'll be done at 4pm on Christmas eve and I'll be back at work on 27th upto new years eve. . !!

Depends on how many people in S Wales "Give Blood" on Friday..... Back in on Wednesday, at least I'm not On-Call over Christmas..:banana:

I finish Saturday about 4.30,at work that is....but having said that a womans work is never done anyway:hihi:

Although I don't work for a living, I'm taking a break from Town Hall councillor duties from Thursday afternoon until Jan 2nd.

But..... I'm taking some 'homework' with me as my partner is working on 5 days over the holiday season, including Christmas Day - so it will give me chance to catch up on some paperwork!

I'll also be taking a break from SF. So, best wishes to everyone for Christmas and the New Year! Have a great time!
