Christmas bonus anybody

newmercman:
My lot have a do, it’s dry though, a lot of drivers have to go to work the following day so they remove temptation, mind you there’s no security on the door, so they never found anyone’s hip flask :laughing: last year they did a little movie that was a ■■■■ take on supertruckers, it was very good, we also have an award ceremony for drivers who achieve certain milestones, based on mileage rather than time served, they also have a driver of the year award and some other performance based awards, it ain’t a bad night out really, the best bit is seeing some of them in their off duty clothes, fashion victims they are not :open_mouth:

We got a bonus last year too, hopefully the same applies this year, finger’s crossed :wink:

Is ice white denim and the mullet hair cut still the height of canadian fashion then

Do you work for a firm who show their appreciation at Christmas for all your hard work, an organised party maybe or a cash bonus, or even a hamper and a drink, or are you like me who works for a firm that are as tight as a fishes [zb] and gives the drivers jack [zb]. but still find the spare cash to put on a party at the main depot for all the other depots managers, aint it great to feel appreciated :unamused: :frowning: :frowning:

We get a £30 shopping voucher…Better than a kick up the arse :grimacing:

Went into work this afternoon and went upto the office to get some paperwork and the boss come out of his office with a pretty serious look on his face “oh oh!” thinks I - and all said was “I didnt manage to give you this before Christmas” (I was off Christmas week!) and he gave me a bottle of Baileys :sunglasses:

i got a $750 bonus and boss takes all drivers and there better halves out for christmas dinner and drinks for the night with cab fair covered. I for one am happy with that.

not even a thank you

Never had so much as a thankyou at christmas in all of the 11 years I’ve worked for the company.

£250 cash (taxed) as an attendance bonus over 12 months previous paid every xmas.

1 day off sick cancels the bonus… sharpens the mind when u have a bit of a headache!!! :smiley:

Box of Stella and £50 tesco card… :smiley:

…and as for the other way around…virtually no hassle…[as others said!] :sunglasses:

Not a penny, christmas do was at the boss’ pub and ONLY selected cocksuckers were invited. Not even a merry ■■■■ you. No thank you, sweet FA.

We get absolutely no appreciation, unless your one of the golden boys where you get away with absolutely anything.

Personally i dont want or expect any kind of bomus at christmas i work hard all year get paid for my eforts and thats enough for me quiet happy with a simple thanks at the end of me shift

bjd, You’re quite right…a simple thanks is more than enough…and I do get that sometimes.

The xmas bonus is not something i ever expect, but i accept it as gesture/recognition of
the good relationship i have with the company.
