@nadnerb I worked for a mob based outside Melb. Sometimes, if you're not located in Melb, you don't always get Cup Day off. In this case, they didn't get that day off, but they did get a day off for their Local Cup.
I lived out of town and they told me I don't get that day off because I don't live in town.
This is the same mob, who all went to an employee's brother's funeral without telling me. I rocked into the office in the afternoon, no one there. I asked where is everyone? I was told they all went to the funeral.
Strange thing was, the bloke (the brother) died in a crash with a loaded B double fuel tanker. I was stopped on the Hwy at the crash heading back to the office. The tanker went up, both trailers.
Top blokes, really great with people ... not.
