t. Big 4 Auditor.
Any other sorry cunts being pretty much forced to work today?
How do bosses get away with it in this day and age?
Christmas Eve isnt a holiday. Wall Street is open, my bank is open, my trash is getting picked up, I have a dentist appointment, mail service as normal...the fuck is your problem? No one even cares about you anyway.
I booked vacation days for the whole of this week man. I shouldn't be having to do work.
Well I'm working today till 3:30pm but my job consist on helping mentally ill people with coordinations and shit so we're pretty much open 24/7, that said I have tomorrow, and two more days after free while getting paid so I'm pleased.

>it will be worth it for the money
>no time, gf, fun
>inb4 20 years from now inflation renders those 'savings' worthless

>went on annual leave on the 21st
>have automatic email telling the sender I'm on leave, send it to __ instead
>they still consistently email me
>ignore them
Not forced to work, still slightly annoyed that retards can't take a hint that I'm not touching that shit until I come back.
Corporate lawyer here, non-stop emails for past 3 days. Might ease up a bit tonight and tomorrow morning, but will probably be right back to it come Wednesday.
Billed 215 hours over the last three weeks. Fuckin kms, salary doesn't even go that fucking far in New York.
because you have to do it.
Arson.
I forgot to say
>Studying for professional exams in January, February and March
It's like Christmas isn't even sacred anymore. At university it was a 1 month holiday now it's like a week at most, and you're still expected to work while on leave.
>How do bosses get away with it in this day and age?
because people like you are too scared to say no
Then send your bosses on permanent vacations to hell. Or keep whining about it like some dumb woman on social media.
>How do bosses get away with it in this day and age?
"Work at will" means you either work at their will or not at all. Why I refuse any salary job. Any less than 150k+ a year is NOT worth the guaranteed 70+ hr workweeks.
>Not converting your savings to precious metals
If you don't do this you're genuinely mentally difficient.
Don't you have an approval process? Once my leave is approved by the CEO, I'm definitely not coming into the office.
I have to work 3p-11p Xmas eve and Xmas day. Yeah I mad.
What type of work?
That's wagecuck culture for you.
Nothing's sacred, make sure to check your E-Mail at the dinner table with your family, your boss might want something from you...
My brother is even working on NYE literally, and he has no problem with it because "hurr I get more money". I mean, if you're a middle-aged man with no family, and no productive hobbies, just working your entire life away at least distracts you from your shitty existence.
Well it's not like I'm forced to, but if the work doesn't get done (which I'm a key part of) then we'll be in the shitter.
Also, lemme just tell the CEO of Deloitte to police my leave.
Whats the problem? 'productive hobbies' are just another surrogate activity, no different to wage slaving.
Then why are you faggot?
Stand up for your self, or keep bitching about your stapler. You wont find any sympathy here.
What does your brother do?
Don't wonder when a company run by satanists doesn't give a fuck about Christmas.
Next time pretend you’ve booked flights. They’ll push you around if you let them and probably do nothing if you stand your ground. You’re not going to climb the ladder without backbone
Yeah, tomorrow morning is when nobody should have to work. Today isn't a day of rest until after 7pm, then prayer and reflection, then bed.
our office never really stops too, I think I've been lucky these past few years where we have new kids to hold the fort while I'm on break. perks of a rapidly growing company.
this
I work in a small practice. I didn't have any holiday left for the Christmas break but my boss let me take it off anyway because he's a cool guy. I also got a £500 Christmas bonus. Feels good man
Good for you if that's what you want but I'd rather neck myself than sell my youth to a fucking company.
Good idea m8, I'll use that next time.
Mate I am the new kid lol.
I think the more senior people should pick up the slack as they ultimately dictate the pace of the engagements and post engagement work.
>"oh no, I choose a high paying job and now have to work" the post
Piss off, you knew what sacrifices you'd have to make. You forged the links of the chains you wear.
I own my own business and I am decidedly not going to be open at all this week
>be consultant
>work mostly from home if not visiting clients
>wale up at 12 am
>first jack off, drink some coffee and play a few rounds of Siege
>actually do some work until 4 pm

Nobody will thank you for actually doing your job. Everyone fucks each other over, so do the same.
