Xmas bonus

daisykate124

Ive just Quit my job so this year i wont be getting anything! last year let me think.......... I got nothing, was working for a very profitable transport company so no change there!

Hubby gets a "xmas shopping day" off and has found out today that his company wont be giving a bonus this year. He got a 2.1% pay rise this year and last year they got no pay rise at all.

Doesnt it make you mad especally at xmas they could at least give something just so you know your thought well of at this expensive time of year.

Im very jelous of a friend of mine who's company is having a Black tie dinner all expenses paid and gets regular bonus throughout the year. I would love to go out to one of these dinners but would probably have a hell of a time finding something to wear so its a good job really that im not that lucky!

I get stamps for Xmas from Work. My Dad gets ONE can of Stones bitter from his work :eek: (he works for the local council). All the workmen then put all the cans together and do a draw for the lot.

We get nothing from work as a bonus, we even have to pay for our own xmas party/meal but to top it all the tightwads aint even paying us for boxing day or new years day this year ggrrrrrrrrr

lightisfading

£20 towards a meal out but that's it, and have to work right through apart from christmas day.


To top it all off our company like to send round regular updates on how sales are booming :mad:

well most of you seem to get some good treats there as for me and my colleagues...

we work for Home Delivery Network limited , The uk's biggest delivery service which is part of the littlewoods Shop Direct Group and is a major segment of "The Barclay Brothers" empire.

Before they bought the company back in 2002 (for £750m) , we got boxes of chocolates , pens ,christmas cards and other little things (the though that counts !!)
but since they bought the company do you know what we get now ?

SWEET FA ! not even a bloody pat on the back for all the hard work we do sorting and delivering all Your gifts ! and thats 1.9 million items a year !! helping those 2 nice fellows make $7 billion a year in revenue lol

Barclay Brothers ... more like the 2 scrooges

What does everyone get from work for a xmas bonus? We get a £20.00 gift card, a double discount day where we get 20% off of selected items which is useful for xmas presents, a floating days holiday & a xmas meal, plus £5.00 off the xmas party. Not bad but I bet others can beat it!

OH used to have a great bonus scheme where, every week he hit target, he had £10 put into his Christmas bonus.
Was great getting £400+ in December just in time for Christmas.:D

BUT - they got bought over by another company and they now get ZILCH Gutted
