    Yes, my US colleagues say biweekly instead of fortnightly. The only problem is that I treat biweekly as twice a week, and they mean once every two weeks!

    So if they ask me to book biweekly meetings, I invariably do it wrong.

    It's nothing to do with attitude, I'm just not going out of my way to deprive myself of a holiday I deserve if the employer can get rid of me at any time up to two years without a reason. I probably won't be rude to the employer but I would simply tell him that I'm sorry, my holiday is going ahead.

    If he then says my job is at risk, I will simply agree.
    thats probably why you haven't been employed longer than 2 years

    Considering the unemployment rate, that's a rather childish stance to have against anyone who hasn't been in their current job for 2 years.
    Boris Johnson voted against Brexit in the Commons, all to become leader of the Conservative Party. Fall for it and you deserve everything you get.
