Give my holiday back to me

Hot 5723 views. 2015-5-2 22:33

Most of us have a three –day labor’s holiday, and I can see a large number of people go outside travailing or sightseeing. I was planning to climb the mountains yesterday, but when I just went half way to my destination, my boss called me, he said it was very urgent, a customer want to order some goods, he needed me to check and send him emails, and I was asked to reply him as soon as I could. No matter how reluctant I was, I have to give up my plan and go back, although it only takes me almost an hour to do all the works, but I didn’t have the right mood to go and climb the mountains.

 

After I sending him the stock list, I waited for a long time, he said that customer would chose and confirm in minutes, I waited and waited, waited for no results.

In the morning when I got up, my head aches seriously, I didn’t go anywhere since the weather was not good at all, sky was coved by think black clouds, it seems that the rain would come at any time, I lie in bed for a while, and cook some simple meal for myself, all my roommates went out, I was alone again. In the afternoon, the sky was clean up and mild wind blowing gently. It felt so comfortable so I wanted to have a walk. Just when I picked up the keys and close the door, my phone rings again, oh, no, it was my boss again, he send me messages by wechat that customer had finished his order, so I opened the door, turn on my computer, checked and order the goods for him. I thought then, since I had ordered the goods for him, no more things would interrupt anymore.

I locked the door and went downstairs happily, my phones again, boss said customer gave him the wrong number; I have to release the one I ordered and book another. It was driven me crazy. Why it’s so hard and difficult for me to go for a walk.

Two days has passed, I don’t know what will bother me tomorrow, I don’t care  what the weather will be and what things might happen, I just want to and enjoy my holiday, I want my holiday back.

You are a responsible man.You can choose to turn off your phone. But take it easy, because you cannot change yestorday,things just happened. You've spent your holiday working, not worth a bad mood, a happy mood will keep you healthy while a bad one won't. Be happy and eonjoy your last day of the holiday.

It is not reasonable for your boss to make you work on a major holiday. In my city, the boss would not contact us unless it is very urgent. When the boss call us for any work, he will pay overtime pay of 45 Yuan per hour and double that pay if it is a red color holiday. We work whole week and can only rest and enjoy our free day on holidays, so it would be unkind for the boss to make us work. However, sometimes, as an employee, you won't have much power to protest, so if it is only an occasional demand, you would have no choice buy to tolerate it.

Anyway, boss and employee relationships are improving and they would gradually improve relationships with employee. Hope in future, they would understand that it is a holiday and you need to rest.

It is indeed depressing to encounter such a thing.
Bye the way, you can apply to the boss for paid leave.
