Are you working over the Christmas holidays?

Saw the thread about VM working other Christmas, but thought I'd open it up a bit....

So - are you working over Christmas / New Year?

What do you do, and are you getting paid extra?

Me? Last day tomorrow (Friday) and return on the 2nd Jan.

Nope. But then again I don't work, I'm a student.

Re: Are you working over the Christmas holidays...

last day tomorrow, and back on the 2nd.. but I am doing remote support on the 24th and 28th, which just entails checking the system in the morning, and the odd bit during the day, and fixing any problems that I am contacted for (which hopefully there shouldn't be any) .. and I will get paid something for it..

Re: Are you working over the Christmas holidays?

Nope, we always shut over Christmas, so couldn't work even if I wanted to (yeah like I'd do that!!!)

Have to work Christmas Eve which is a bummer, and back on the 2nd.

Re: Are you working over the Christmas holidays?

I'm one of the lucky people who managed to get time off for Christmas. At the end of Friday that's it until the New Year.
