It's totally normal to take a holiday from work without getting fired, especially in the UK. The average UK worker gets 28 days’ paid annual leave per year- or 5.6 weeks of holiday for a 5-day work week. Not to mention bank holidays, 3 of which fell in the last month.Becky.rigby wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 12:28 am I absolutely adore Dan and Phil, but they are better than this. The fact that we have had no videos or live shows since before Christmas and it's now mid January and Dan hasn't even realy been active on his accounts. If it was a real job they would not have gotten away with not doing their job for so long.
I also believe they're back to working, they're just not public about it; there's a ton that goes into running a youtube empire beyond just what you see. You can miss them, but it's ridiculous to suggest that taking a month off of posting - part of which were bank holidays - is equivalent to a fireable offense. They've been doing this as their job for 9 years, I think a holiday is not out of the order, especially given that part of their job is to live their lives online publicly. I'm possibly more sensitive because I also work in media, and am also not allowed breaks according to my fans *headdesk*.
Also I miss them too.
I'm sorry, I came across wrong, I just miss them and I'm tired of course they are entitled to time off and there is more to their job than just filming. It's just difficult to understand this when you aren't in the media industry, not that we are entitled or need to know as we don't.
