It just doesn't work, mate. Fair play for persistence though.

this is the strategy read carefully

Mumbles, I've got my HR Director on board. He says I can have an extra days holiday on on the 35th December and even better I can take this a day earlier for the next three years so I can take the 36th December as holiday in year four.

However, I'm not allowed to go to Paris or Scandinavia because it's a secret we don't want them to find out about.

Lets suppose you only get 1 day per year holiday and you plan to stay with that company for 60 years . what is the best strategy to take the one day per year??? is it best to take your day on 31/12 every year ??? or is it better to take your day earlier every year??? by about 6 days earlier would be my guess. Whats yours???

its a good strategy

come 2067 mumbles will be taking off 76 weeks per year, the days he's working he'll be getting 9 hour lunch breaks, he'll be getting a month's salary every 6 minutes, and he'll have the skin of a 21 year old, and he'll be driving a flying car.

see old posts for equal comparison
both employees start work on 1 jan
employee 1 takes same holiday every year 31/12
employee 2 takes same holiday minus 1 day 30/12

so employee 2 only works 363 days between holidays while employee 1 works 364 days between holidays

I see where you are coming from.

Your plan would work _if_ your colleague decided to take his day on 31st December (rather than in mid-August when you originally suggested) _and_ if when you both came to leave the company no adjustment was made for holiday taken / not taken.

It would be like saying when I go to work I hit myself over the head with a cricket bat mid-morning. This is a great plan. I'm much better off than my pal who hits himself over the head with a cricket bat mid-morning and mid-afternoon. You're imposing a restrictive condition on employee 1.

all I am trying to do is keep the number of days worked between holidays to a minimum and this type of strategy works
