2 weeks after he'd been off we started seeing well dressed people knocking around the office, we didn't think anything of it until the police appeared, tongues started wagging then we all got interviewed and found out the truth, he'd defrauded to company to the tune of £87,000. He didn't dare take any time off work because he was upto his neck in fraud. You've only got to read a thread like this and it all comes flooding back.
Take your holidays mate people have fought long and hard for the rights you have when at work.

I know of one manager who took too many holidays. Was refunding tickets to his own credit card rather than the companies they were owed to. Ended up with a couple of years inside and loss of his house under the proceeds of crime.
This is diversifying from the main thread of course, and I second the sentiments here. Did the Tolpuddle Martyrs die in vain here?
