apocalypsosI called my brother to ask him if they were still making him work on Christmas Eve and my mother said that now they're also making him work on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
Okay, either he's doing overtime and lying about it or something is seriously up.
EDIT: So what happened is that they asked my brother who's still in training if he wanted to come in on Christmas Eve, he said no because he had plans, and they ordered him to come in anyway.
Okay, I've been working in this place for a year, and my uncle's been working there for at least ten.
1. He's still in training. He can't do overtime, which holidays count as.
2. You can't order someone to come in on a holiday.
3. You have to ask someone if they want to come in on a holiday. If they say no, you can't sign them up anyway.
4. On a purely not-in-the-rulebook level, there is no work in that factory. NO WORK. There is no freaking reason why a trainee has to come in for twelve hours each on Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, AND New Year's Day to work. None. It is not vitally important to any of us work on a holiday. WE MAKE CDS AND DVDS, FOR FUCK'S SAKE. WE ARE NOT DOCTORS OR POLICEMEN OR FIREMEN.
My brother's going into the boss's office to bitch tomorrow morning. Honestly.
Also, I'm going to ask what the hell is going on when I go into work on Tuesday night. Seriously, I've been there a little over a year, and I've never heard of anything like this.
