That's a bit rough.
Plax said:The company I work for was supposed to shut down over Christmas and forced everyone to take leave (or unpaid leave if you didn't have any holidays left) for the working days in between Christmas and New Year. Last week they changed their mind (Corporate politics) and now one or two person from key departments have to come in over those days. To say people are a bit p*ssed off is an understatement. Lots of people have made alternative arrangements to go away etc and because my family lives locally I'm the key person who has been "volunteered" to come in and work from my department. I'm not amused. Extremely poor management on the companies side.

Something that you say which means if you are too confident about yourself, something bad will happen to show you that you are not as good as you think you are.

An employer is supposed to give 90 days notice of changes to working 'Terms and conditions'.
Personal circumstances should not be taken into account as to an employee's working arangements. The Employer can ask if the rearangements suit, but cannot enforce a change within LESS than 90 days.
If you don't turn up, the Employer will have not a lot of power in an industrial tribuneral if they stated the employee was 'volunteered' by them to work.
Unless, of course, you signed a contract stating you would be available for work at the Company's discretion...
