I’m off holidays so you can work

Post by sinklair » Thu Dec 31, 2020 7:58 am

Can someone tell “Look at me” David Custer that he should probably not rub it in that he gets to take practically EVERY holiday off. I’m glad he’s so far up news director’s favorite list that he gets time off with his bae. However, there are those of us who have to work on holidays because he and others like the entire 25-66 management team believe they don’t have to inconvenience themselves by working on the same holidays they expect us to work.

There’s news to cover even on holidays. I expect to have to work holidays, weekends, and weird shifts from time to time. I just don’t need to hear from Custer that he’s entitled to live by different rules than his fellow journalists.

Yeah... while I applaud your efforts to call out mismanagement as you see it, this is just part of the business.
There are people who work on the holidays and people who don’t. It sucks for those of us who have to work on the holidays but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is some kind of injustice.

Being salty about your bosses on a public message board isn't the best career move. With seniority you get to pick your holidays, I take Christmas and Thanksgiving off but an happy to work New Year's day and other days. 20 years ago, I didn't like having to work Christmas when my parents had flown up from Florida to see us for the Holidays either.

David Custer wearing that ugly sweater as well and pimping out his hubby's hair salon in his message since he seems to do that a lot on TV5 newscast.
