So do we all take the same day off?.

Nono, six days is the best, I guess.

I am still waiting on Jimmy the Wig to comment on the strategy.
here it is again......
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.
What's your guess???

It is better to take your holiday on 31/12, that way it is available all your jic you need it for an emergency.

If you took it on 01/01 you would have to work the whole year knowing that if an emergency occurs you have no holiday to take.

Look at it this way, would you rather work 11 months knowing you are accruing holidays that you can take at any time. or would you rather take them all in the first month then have to work for 11 months knowing you have no holidays left.

Your theory sounds good on paper, if you read it quickly, but it soon falls apart when you apply it to human beings who have a lives to lead.

That is the power of the strategy.

Let's just keep this to ourselves. There's no point letting everyone in on the secret, and then HR finding out about it.

mumbles, you in? You're not gonna go blabbing to HR , are you?

mumbles, how you gonna spend your extra days holiday next year? Fancy a picnic sometime?

I don't want this thread to ever end.

It has seriously gone down hill the last few pages, but I haven't laughed like this in a long time.

An analogy:
I give Mumbles £2 per month that he can spend however he wants.
He decides to spend £20 every 11 months even though he has accrued £22 in that time.
He convinces himself that he's getting more money that way.

I'm happy because it's not costing me any more than it would have done.
