Off work for Christmas... Some at work resent it

[Guest guest]

I have a 4 on and 2 off schedule at work. So this means I just have different

days off every week. It just so happened that my days off fell on the 24th and

25th this month. LUCKY ME. Anyway, my supervisor had asked me to give up one

of those days for the day nurse who's schedule falls to work both days. I was

going to.... but it would have put me working 9 days straight with one off in

the middle. That would kill me.

I also think..... would she do the same for me????/ No I don't think she

would. I know I worked last Christmas because I was new there. (without time

and half pay too, because 90 days was not up for me). That nurse has young

kids, but so do I. So I changed my mind several weeks ago and told my boss.

I also worked Thanksgiving and am scheduled to work New Year's day. So I

think it is fair. I guess I just get tired of people trying to walk over me

because I am " so nice " . I have a 5 and 10 year old myself. And I work 2-10 pm

which puts me not seeing my kids sometimes for a 4 day stretch. The other nurse

works 6am to 2pm and spends EVERY night with her children. She refused in the

beginning to trade off and work even 1 or 2 of the evening shifts a week so I

would not have to do all of them.

Oh well,

just venting,

love,
