Work over Christmas

[scottish]

Do you work over the Christmas period/on Christmas day?

The office closes on the 23rd Dec and re-opens on the 3rd January - Last year I worked from home during that week and will probably do the same. It's not busy normally.

But Christmas Day and Boxing Day = No work whatsoever.

Not anymore now I'm a student!

I used to work every Christmas Eve, and then quite often rotated each year between working either Boxing day, New Years Day or in the case of the last couple of years I worked there, both!


I do have a couple of essays due in on the 3rd January though, so I will be "working" a little bit over the Christmas break I guess.

Yeah we close up about same (23rd - 4th), but have 3 days which we take turns to cover.

Office closes on the 23rd until the 28th and then closed again new years. I'm booked off for the period it reopens because it seems pointless to me! May as well enjoy the whole Christmas week properly.

Not working xmas day, working boxing day and the 29th/30th.

Working in retail means you basically don't get a day off. I'm working every day during December (virtually, obviously apart from Xmas Day), working Xmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day (insert gun emoji here)

Dno yet, if I'm scheduled in for my usual days then nah cos I only work weekdays and Christmas is on the weekend woo, but no doubt they'll try make me work it all

I'm quite lucky this year, I get a whole 3 days off in a row; 25/26/27th and I've got New Year's Day off. Working every other day though

[Absently]

Not sure what I'll be working this year. I only work 8 hours a week and it's a Sunday I tend to work on assume they'll just ask me what day I can work instead of the Sunday
