I feel bad about this, but this kid joined us after we had had 2 rounds of redundancies;
(no, I don't know what management were smoking, hiring someone after loads of people had to leave)
and he's now gone off to get married.
He's taken a MONTH off.
That's an entire year's worth of time off.
So, either he's blown his entire year of holiday allowance, or hes taking unpaid leave.
Personally, I think that sounds painful, but that's his choice, right?
Noo, we're expected to chip in to a pot to afford presents for him. Now, I'd happily contribute to a collection for a well-liked longterm team member, but for a new kid who can blow his entire allowance in the same month? When we've had to take a pay cut due to 'the current economic climate' ?
Someone please tell me I'm not being a scrooge.
