Originally posted by BrowneIssue View PostIt used to be the norm. Easter and August Bank Holidays were always key dates for system upgrades. For the first decade of my working life I don't think I ever got either of those off. That is, I always worked through from the preceding Monday to the following Friday - 12 days straight. And typically long hours over the weekend.
And the best bit?
I was permie so received no extra money.
I'd require time off in lieu at the very least.Comment

I agree strongly. I have never done it. I have seen a few cases where people get abused.Originally posted by zeitghost View PostI've always had a strict rule: if you want my time you pay for it... and if you don't like it, then you can find some other fliper who suits you better...
