If it's any consolation, sounds like my wife's lot. Got to drop here off for her works do/meal later. Told her to give me a ring after half an hour or her £10 bonus is used up, whichever is sooner. :1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Looking at that set-up that's all the energy your wind farms have generated used up then :1: Christmas bonus? - you're having a giraffe All I know is (and I suspect like most of the working population) Christmas is just an increasing money-pit, since stopped coming to my house.

brillomaster Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 im happy enough - new job pays two weeks earlier than old job, so feels like a bonus to me! other than that, not a lot - but still beats old job which has been all doom and gloom the last two years.

Bockaaarck Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I get to attend my clients Christmas party, which all attendee's had to contribute to financially, I expect they might chuck in a round of drinks. To be fair I don't expect anything as a contractor, especially as they are cutting costs and cutting people, so its just nice I got an invite. I think it would be a bit rich if they let a load of people go before Christmas and then allow everyone who's left to 'blast off' at the Christmas do.

Bockaaarck Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I got put into a consultation period for redundancies in January Hohoho meeeeeeeeerry Christmas! Hope you survive that Ricey, although I guess it's better to know what might be ahead now rather than spending a load of money over Christmas and then finding out. Another company I worked for decided they would need to cut some staff but would do it in January so as not to spoil peoples Christmas. I persuaded them that wasn't fair to the people what were earmarked for redundancy, they eventually relented. I spent the last week in November and first week in December telling those people they were going to lose their jobs, horrible feeling which made me feel quite sick. However I do remember that a couple of the people I spoke to were actually grateful (as much as they could be) to know up front and before they'd spent a load of money.Didn't make me feel any better but I hope it was the right thing for those people.

I'd forgotten if I'm honest. cool that'll do nicely as a Christmas bonus cars going lovely as well. out most weekends with her and just love the power and the luxury compared to my old banger fiesta. gutting for people getting redundancy notices at this time of year, agree that it's best to find out before spending loads on Xmas presents though.

JetSet Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The company I worked for always looked after us at Christmas. We had a bonus of anything up to 12% of our salary, a Christmas hamper and a party to which you could bring your other half, usually in a posh hotel. Now I've retired all I get is £200 cash from the government towards my heating bill :smile: . Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
