From your firm or agency or a goodwill gesture like a tin of quality street too a bottle of plonk from your delivery drops?
Not so much a Xmas bonus but we get a “attendance bonus” of £350 that’s paid out 2 weeks before Xmas.
For every day your off unauthorised you loose £15! , it used to be even better they used to kitty all the £15 quids and split it with anyone who done the whole year without a day off . But this got stopped 
Still can’t complain, altho the way things are the now and new boss(son) he’s doing a lot of cost cutting so might go.
Pah…yer right, the only bonus I have ever seen on Agency is the chance of a couple of days work in January, I don’t even think I got a jot of gratitude for helping out one Christmas when I did Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, never again, sod em.
Yes and it’s better than drink or money. Yes it’s a blinder…a stobart calender. Twelve pictures of wagons, rail plant, airports and TV donkeys.
We used to get a diary too…lost that to the bean counters.
Got mine already ,been told to use my holidays up by the end of the year ,so only working 8 days in December . Merry Xmas 
We get a £30 voucher to spend in one of our own stores - Yippee !!!
My Boss is an extremely wealthy & generous eccentric Gentleman, he says he’s buying each of us our very own ‘Stately Home’ this year.
Mines called “■■■■ Hall” apparently 
Hell Yeah !!!

I can’t believe you have put the word ‘agency’, and the phrase ‘goodwill gesture’ in the same sentence… 
Mate, agencies wouldn’t recognise goodwill if it crawled up their arse and they spat it out the other end…Agencies that do pretend to offer a bonus will be handing it to you with one hand, and come January, the other hand will be taking it away…

Best of luck with finding a new job matey. ■■■■■■■■■
From the company we get a little hamper which has a box of walkers shortbread and 2 bottles of either South African or Australian wine.
From our fitters garage i got a bottle of smirnoff vodka but was made to give it back saying it would break some bribery act, what a load of ■■■■■■■■ 
They had a bottle for every driver aswell.
From one of our customers i got an out of date box of chocolates
Still having my job is the only bonus i could wish for , think they have a christmas do just before which is pretty good of them to put on.
we get an ever increasing bonus every year from our boss.
we get £5 for every year we’ve worked for him.
So this year I get a mighty £40 which he then puts through the wages and is then taxed.

Well in the warehouse wqe get nothing at our place, were only off Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day because the management swap our days off to these days, which means we have to work the weekend before and after to make up for it.
There is a Christmas party held at a hotel somewhere, if you want to go it’s £35 for a ticket (EACH), they used to chuck a buffet on for each shift as a (little) thanks and an extra 15 mins on your break to take you to 45 mins, but this hasn’t happened since the old Distribution Manager left apparently we were too busy in December last year to give everyone the 45 minute break.
If were lucky we might get pulled to the front desk on Christmas Eve at 5 am after working trough our break to go home early and get told thanks lads for this year blah blah blah best performing depot in the network AGAIN blah blah blah keep it up happy Christmas you can now go home (30 mins early when you take into account no break) see you Boxing Day night at 2145.
