  • @unforseen he’s not offering me a way to go home early, he’s telling me to come in 1.5 hours before my usual start time so I can go home 30 mins earlier.
  • @farmer Johnson our company is offering a bonus of £0. I don’t know why people on this forum are such idiots that think the boss can say jump and I say how high. I go to work at my usual time daily, do my work, go home.

    Carry on doing that

    I really can not see why you have posted a thread about it if thats what you intended

    Merry Christmas

    OP - as you are new to work, you may not be aware that for the first 2 years of employment, you can be dismissed without the company having to give a reason. And that is legal (apart from some protected characteristics).

    So be flexible, do as you are asked. Or it may come back to bite you in the future.

    And I do sympathies, I'm on some fairly heavy anti-depressants which cause issues with sleep. But if I have an early meeting, I get in to work on time. If I have a client visit, I get in early. Lots of strong coffee is a short term fix

    You really need to grow up , you have many many years of working life a head of you . Do you really want to spend the rest of your life whingeing?..

    Is this just one day in the year that you are being asked to be a little accommodating? I don't know how old you are OP (I suspect very young), but by golly you have SO much to learn. I hope you have a job after Christmas, but with your attitude I suspect it won't last long.
