Rant: Anyone working Xmas Eve Night?
I'm getting nervous about Xmas Eve. The work schedule hasn't been posted yet at my retail job. The mall where I work closes at 6 PM on 12/24, which stinks for employees. If I get unlucky and get the closing shift, I may ask my manager if I can leave an hour early so I can make the 1 hour drive to my brother's house for our big and only family gathering which is also my brother's birthday.
Does anyone else have the bad luck of working the night of 12/24? If so, how are you dealing with it?
Re: Rant: Anyone working Xmas Eve Night?
I managed a store at a pretty significant sized mall here, and you might be surprised.. our Christmas Eve schedule was always pretty light... and the mall was pretty much DEAD.
GL!
No sympathy from me, my family owns a liquor store / wine shop.
Thanksgiving Eve
Christmas Eve
New Years Eve
They're a busiest days of the year, we've never been able to have a family party or celebration. It's just the way it goes when you work in retail. We're even open on Thanksgiving Day.
Still sucks though, but you've gotta make the best of it.

Best sound ever: baby's heartbeat! (Heard @ 10w1d)
My hubby has to work until 9:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve Night. I will be at dinner at my parents' house. Yup..just me, mom, dad, sister...oh and my in laws!
My parents' invited them before we found out the work schedule so it sounds funny, but it sould be fun!
my DH also works in retail. He is a sales leader so he often gets stuck with the hours people don't want to work so he is working Christmas eve until 6:00pm and the 26th from 7-4.
My DH works front desk at a hotel (last year in this job!!!). He's working 7pm-3am Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I'm sure he'll work NYE as well.
When I was in the hotel business, I got stuck on night audit on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve. Being a manger was pretty crummy....I left that job fairly quickly after that.
