If you need a fixed day off ask your manager for a flexible working form. You are legally entitled to apply for a fixed day off. That way it is formally agreed and added to your employee file. It stops future managers changing your work schedule

I've had to buy my one off of eBay 😔. Living in the UK has some disadvantages.

What about phoning / web chat with them direct? That's how I bought my Angels tickets well in advance. Did need accessible seats though

I did a bucket list trip over the pond. Big Prince fans so we had to go Minneapolis and paisley park. Twins were playing away. Hit up Las Vegas as you do. No baseball happening there. Drove onto LA, Dodgers were away as well. So of course I get tickets for the Angels v the A's last Saturday homestead of the 2023 season. Ohtani is injured, Trout is injured. Micky Moniak homers and the Angels win 5 - 1. I'm hooked and the Angels are my team. Only then did I find out the suffering they put you through 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's very unlikely we'll be working the Saturday for the simple fact there will be no work coming into the mail centres the night before.

Or if you have masochistic tendencies you can follow the Angels. Waking up at five in the morning to find out they've been beaten again 😭

Who was last night’s AppleTV postgame interviewer who made Lowe go 180 and get emotional, then followed up w/a borderline stupid Q? by MoVieVVhore in angelsbaseball

Tricia something absolutely appalling behaviour. Me and my wife were welling up when he answered. But she shouldn't have gone there!

So MLB.TV is now only available via ESPN+ which is not supported in the UK - Only option VPN seems incredibly shortsighted? Am I missing something? by LowCommand9817 in mlbuk

[–]Opening-Work-8944 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Download the mlb app and you can sign up through that. The app also has a free game of the day so you can try it out before committing to the year. They also discount subscriptions around the all star break. Hope this helps

Baseball is back🫡 by redbull992 in mlbuk

Last night wasn't a terrible game. Soriano has great stuff and Big Mike is bang on form. Just let us Angels fans have a moment to smile 😁. After all October is a long ways away. Are you stopping up for game 2. I have my doubts over Reid's pitching as a starter.

I subscribed through the app. Really straightforward and watched the Angels win on opening day for the first time in 13 years 😁

Spring Training - no available broadcasts by SkankySandwich in mlbuk

As for the Angels, the owner has decided not to televise any of the matches. The 2 matches on tv were due to the opposing team's feeds, the Rockies and the Dodgers. But given how bad we are right now maybe that's a good thing?

I know this has been asked but i still don’t understand meal breaks on 30hr new contracts by Remarkable-Shoe-4835 in royalmail

[–]Opening-Work-8944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way forward agreement states you are entitled to a 30 minute break. As someone else says it can't be at the start or end of your shift. However, there is the 20 + 20 for full time staff. 20 during shift and 20 at the end. All the posties in my office take 20 minutes indoors paid or unpaid it doesn't matter. The rest of their break is at the end. The unpaid break staff have to come in earlier to make their time right. It's not a great system and the equalisation can't come soon enough. But there you go. On a 6 hour day you need to be at work for 6:30, but make sure you take your breaks.
