Moving House OH Been refused time off...!!

Confused, if you were working for me, I'll double, no triple your parental leave and would give you even more. I'd make dam sure you're off every day.
Rather that than go over the "I know my rights - I've seen it on the internet - I'll get a lawyer" monologue... Like you say, they don't pay you when you take parental leave. Not only that but they don't see you either and you don't get to bore your colleague to death. It's a win-win-win situation for your employer.

Please next time you turn up for work, please pass on my sincere sympathy to your boss.:p

(ps. I'm not an employer, I'm all for women's rights, parents' rights and employees' rights but don't suffer selfish militants that p*ss everybody who's happy to be at work - and I've worked with quite a few of those who have spoilt it for everyone else)

There might be few people that agree with you, but i think you will find that the majority of people agree with me.

I havnt got personal with you so why come in here telling me give me my gaffer symapathy and telling me to have every day off, your just a busy body who would probably do everyones head in at work with your constant aarssee licking:p

Im a person who does not get trod all over by his employer and to be honest, i get treated a lot better than the other employees at my place who dont exercise their rights.

Infact my managers tread very carefully around me and dont bother me with extra work, and pull me about little trivual things which they do with some of the employees who dont know their rights.

I think everyone should be treated equally, but some people just dont help themselves and become door mats.

Gone are the days of slavery, and people being bullied by their employers, but a lot of it as got to do with the employees sticking up for themselves and using these rights.

Confused

ps Anyone else who wants to post on here telling me if i was you gaffer i would not employ you, i would sack you, i would let you have loads of time off free. Do you really think i care what you lot say, im a selfish employee and i look after number one.

Hehehe, don't bother you with extra work? they get someone else to empty the Ronald McDonald dustbin and pick the rubbish up in the drive-through?

I thought you were some sort of rocket engineer, not working for a "manager".

One thing for you to remember - you aren't the boss, the gaffer, the manager - you are the hired help, the bottlewasher.

Now, can you get those McSausage Breakfasts ready like you were asked.

What is the point in this post? Angry, cheap insults achieve nothing.

Captain_Mainwaring_2

It quite amused me. Seems like a good enough reason.

In reply to "so your a member of a institution, is that your job being a member? dont you mean you belong in a mental institution?:D"

Confused seems to think everyone is as stupid as he is.

Since you have chosen to get involved - what is your take on this?

If you were refused time off at short notice, would you start demanding breast feeding rights, would you just go sick, or would you take it on the chin?

thanks for reminding me that, like the previous poster said what really is the point of this post?

I think you are embarressing yourself now with your cheap comments, we all have an opinions, i have mine and you have yours, but theres no need to use childish comments when you disagree with someone.

It reminds me of when i was a kid playing football, if you didnt let a certain child win he would take his ball home and cry, and thats what the captain has done here.

to be honest i dont think you are on the same level as me, engineering and process control, go on tell me what you know about engineering.

What are you an engineer in?

I bet i know more about your job than what you do.

confused

It's things like this that make me realise just how lucky I really am.

Thanks.

yeah im an engineer in a office heheheheheehe

Guys, this arguement that you have carried over from last night isn't really helping the OP and has now become a two person slanging match. If the points you are making are that important to you both, why not take it over to PM?

I personally do not see why someone should be granted leave at short notice to move house, the OP could have asked for completion to be a week later.

I don't think abusing parental leave is the mark of a good employee, these are concessions that have been hard won and if there IS ever an emergency the OP having yet more time off will cause friction and ill-feeling amongst the other employees and/ot management.

I got totally fed up with people with children having days off at short notice the last time I was at work. I'm sure some of it was unavoidable but things like 'going to the dentist' should and could have been arranged in advance and annual leave taken.

I think the OP came to a viable compromise in the first few pages of this thread and there is actually no need to discuss it further
