work whinge

Yes.. its time for a whinge.

Why is it that companies like their staff to clear their leave, but not want to give you the time off when you do want to clear your leave?

One example? Hints are dropped by management when the team takes turn to clear their leave during quiet periods. So when are we allowed to take leave?

Results are released on a friday evening at 5pm. We need to have students information/details/ completed by Monday 9am. But management is hinting that they don't want us (as in the team) to come in on Saturday to clear the work..

I don't get this. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
