Christmas tips / bonus?

£100 bonus from my boss. A case of Miller from one of my collections and a bottle of Vodka from another.
Better than a kick in the nuts I suppose.:slight_smile:

Oh I almost forgot. One of my regular cash and carry deliveries gave me a box of 24 pepparami for Christmas. Very random indeed!

90 days notice and a letter saying that we go into a consultation period in January with regard to closure of where I work at the end of March :cry: Announcement was made on 13.12 2013. We did ask them why they couldn’t have waited until the New Year before telling us and wrecking everyones Christmas :imp: Financial year end is 31st December. Something to tell the share holders.

Possibility of transfer to another site might be on the cards but if not job hunting end of Feb onwards.

Fingers on the wrong keys. Well spotted, should have been 13.12.2012. Thanks for pointing that out :smiley:

3kg turkey crown and a pork pie which is brilliant as i only work for the firm part time one or two shifts per month

I got a 2.5% pay rise in sept. we got 2 bottles of wine celebrations and a 4kg turkey plus chocs from a few of my customers for my kids and a £20 tip from one too!

I’m happy enough as could of got nothing :frowning:

Weekended at the moment but talking to a couple who finished up yesterday they didn’t even get “happy Christmas” off management and they wonder why nobody will come in for Boxing Day
Me working tonight and Monday morning luckily my wifey has a good boss and had case of wine,quality st tin , a huge fresh turkey crown and £100 M&S voucher

Literally at the same time:

Left hand - Tin of Heros

Right hand - Letter confirming the date of my redundancy

They do know how to take the fun out of these things.

$1000.00 which came as a supprise but very welcome, thanks Boss :smiley:

I received a surprise bottle of Bacardi (I’m teetotal ) a tin of quality street in the firms “customer/supplier” gifts raffle, £50 in high street shopping vouchers and on holiday from yesterday till 2nd Jan.

Makes a change from November 2011 where all i received was a redundancy P45, or even January 2010 and another redundancy P45.

Sorry for the cheap quip.

It’s ■■■■■■ news mate, hope you land on your feet. My brother in law has just been told that he’s not required in after xmas too, got a bit of a redundancy package but that won’t last long will it.

2% wage rise as of Oct, and a case of belhaven best.

Better than a kick in the nuts.

I had £250 bonus from the company which was a nice suprise indeed, also received 2 bottles of bells finest and £40 from customers whic was also much appreciated. i tried to decline but they insisted! :open_mouth: :unamused: :wink:

Lol, some of the other drivers moaned like hell when i mentioned it… maybe they need to be more cheerful in life to reap the benefits! :stuck_out_tongue:
OOH, and as mentioned from the above poster, a 2.5% pay rise from november. i`m guessing with ASD and TATA going belly up, things are looking up for us.

P.S. sorry to all the guys who may have been affected by this, especially so close to xmas its the worst and last thing to happen to anyone…beleive me, i went through it last year.
Hope you all get back into work soon and have a good xmas. :blush: :slight_smile:
