SillyBilly Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Still waiting for my payrise from about 3 months ago, was told it would be backdated in January next year but shall see. Had better be, I will have a look around over Xmas . We have profit share which seems to be calculated based on how matey you are with the board while they try and kid everyone there is a "formula", the chosen few drive in with new cars on pay out, for me it is equivalent to about 6 weeks wages. I am not expecting that this year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 A tin of biscuits. Actually, a box of biscuits that retails for 3.99. No financial bonus ever no matter how much profit the company has made. We used to get a hamper made up of different products from around the group but since we got took over a few years ago - bloody biscuits. ..that's it.

Yeah, pretty much, and thanks. I've even been writing some Cobol programs the last few months - it's been about 20 years but you never forget.

Rev Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 When I get a decent bonus, I like to look at my weekly payslip and pretend I'm a under 23 footballer at lower Championship level! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Worked for an animal charity for 15 years. Done about 10 Xmas days and New Years. No time off in lieu, no extra pay not even time and a half and certainly no Xmas bonus. Some of you dont know how fortunate you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is annoying, a few years back I got a bonus (not christmas) of over 14k. a total one off due to massive profits the business made, never had anything like it since....when you see how much is then taken off you its a sickener.

Closed them both down around a year ago, couldn't really see much room for further growth! I blame Brexit. My dad worked all his life in well paid work, followed all the rules, paid as much as he could into his pension, and finds himself now, at age of 73 reducing his hours to just 3 days a week to make ends meet following his pension company going belly up! Surely pensions are covered with a regulatory body, if you pay into a UK based pension company and its covered by the FSCS you should receive a percentage atleast, you should send the pension advisory service an email to enquire about how you stand, that's truly shocking.

It would be nice to be in a postion where you had to pay £1m i guess. I guess for the normal average earner when you get a once in a lifetime bonus like that its just frustrating to lose nearly half in taxes. But as you say a lot of people would jump at the chance of paying that sort of tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I get 2% of my annual salary. It could be more but the powers at be always come up with a dubious excuse as to why it's not. I'd love to go out and blow it all on cheap booze & even cheaper women but I'll instead be spending it on remaining Christmas presents, and if I've got any left, a new stereo for me car.
