Well, Saturday of the bank holiday weekend has just crept in via the back door and, it feels just like any other late night. Why do we build such expectations into holiday weekends; even when I was working full-time these were the weekends I tried to ensure I stayed at home. To be honest, the prospect of a longer weekend was irrelevant, as so often I was employed in positions where weekend working was part of the routine.
Perhaps it's time for legislation to be brought in that ensures, whenever a bank holiday occurs, an extended break, of at least some consecutive days, is allocated to all employees within at least a couple of weeks.
Of course workaholics may apply for exemption; usually this need to work all the hours either God sends or the employer demands, is a sign of inefficiency! If they simply enjoy wage slavery ... good luck to them.
