Discuss Who's working Christmas Day in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

no money in the world would get me out xmas day some greedy men on here lol

Not really greedy, it's a case of some people have no choice wether they work or not. It's part of my contract that bank holidays are covered by at least 1 person

have u actually thought that some of the guys on here are working cos they actually need the money, possibly to pay for christmas, and therefore have no choice to do it either
 
volunteering my services free to local hospital over festive season......don't really drink so that's ok if they need a hand with something I will head over...
how very noble of you,I did the same a few years ago with the fire service,its nice to be able to put something back isnt it.this year I will only be turning out for real friends with real emergencies,one year I was asked to locate a gas leak for a disabled couple by friends as transco had turned of their gas,I'd had quite a few so they had ma picked up,even half cut I found the leak in short order,caused by transco,lots of red faces for them a few quid for me and a very happy couple.What a result.
 
I've lost count of the number of my friends and "associates" who have given me a similar tale of yuletide riches only to change company and years later tell me what a stingy outfit they once worked for. Also,a couple of them who are on serious dough,once you break it down to hours etc,are merely on good wages but are owned 24/7 by their respective employers.
