£20,that's put into your paypacket that's taxed.
I used to get very well looked after but I think my bonus will be about 80% down. But I'm not overly fussed as I'm still employed unlike many other unfortunate people.
better than nothing, Like the chap above says. Perhaps the real bonus is you have a paypacket at all.Originally Posted by TrixNFlix
£20,
i wish ,, but having 24 days paid leave off is good enough for me :ho:
a few bottles of wine of customers - that's it really... my bonus is keeping my job...
Here we go again people trying to make me feel guilty for having a job.better than nothing, Like the chap above says. Perhaps the real bonus is you have a paypacket at all.
You ever considered entering politics Kenobi ?better than nothing, Like the chap above says. Perhaps the real bonus is you have a paypacket at all.

Im not tipping my postie the **** signs for stuff then leaves it on my doorstep to get robbed. ****er. ooooh lets strike instead of doing our jobs.
No bonus for us, they took us out for a meal instead
Bonus here, profit wasnt the best we have had tho as you would expect.. Roll on end of tax year tho... unsure about anyone else in motor trade but we are booming on the porsche side of things here since summer.....
I winge because I got a £20 taxed bonus then you post saying I should be lucky to get a paypacket, then you go and post this in the thread!
We were all told to roll up our trousers a bit.....then at the end of the day, we were told that any nuts/bolts /washers we found in the rolled up bits, we could keep......thats about as good as it gets at our place for Xmas bonuses.
For me snow= empty wallet!
I'm not complaining tho, like most things in life being self employed has it's ups and downs.

I apologise. I sort of meant collectivley we shoulf all be greatful if we have jobs. I wasnt trying to offend you. And for all I know Your basic wage far exceeds mine and ya know i wasnt trying to piss higher or anything.
Sorry Trix, my bad.
No worries Daniel.
Boxing day IS a normal working day everywhere by law, they've moved the bank holiday to the following MondayThey take the pi$$. Also they have decided to make boxing day,a normal working day. They are
Indeed
Consider getting a pay packet each month as your bonus, given the currect financial climate...
After a year that saw our shop floor staff reduced by 90, we got a bottle of cava and a £10 voucher. I was happy with it but some others refused it. Also we had a free bar at the Xmas party. I've been working here 13 years and have never had anything at Xmas. I'm also back on a 5 day week in the new year which is around £240 extra a month
I know I'm lucky to have kept my job.
Good old Korean's..
Mart, Not all industries are hit, during a bad financial climate, so I don't agree with what you are saying. Some companies use the "bad financial climate" excuse as a way of scroteing their workers. As for what dawn says about normal working day, in my situation this is b0llock$, as the company has never worked this day as "a normal working day' in the 23 years it's been trading.
Point out where I said it was a way of 'scroteing' (sic) their workers...
I'm just saying there's been tens of thousands that have lost their jobs over the past couple of years, and if you're still employed at the moment, then you should be gratefuel for that/getting a pay-packet each month & not be fecking whinging on that you didn't get any Xmas bonus.
always do not bad from work at Xmas , litre vodka , night out at hotel free food and drink , got a £250 bonus which will be taxed along with salary , also got a letter that i will get 2.5% salary increase from 1st january,our 2009 annual bonus(last year was £2500 ) for all the shutdowns ive been on then on the 1st of june we will get our full salary increase which will be decided from our appraisel back dated to january :ho:
Nice on Mudslinger that rules!!! good to hear of a successful xmas!!
Mart, point out where I said, that you had created the scroteing comment. I created that comment meaning, alot of companies use times of hardship to their own advantage to line their own pockets. The bonus for me has been the same for years at my place so I'm not bothered about that, just sick of thr media saying, you should be lucky to have a job. Maybe I should join a cult that I can give a percentage of my wage too so I can feel less guilty about having a job.
Guys and gals out there who have lost there jobs through no fault of their own, I offer you my best wishes and hope you get a job again asap, think I'm turning into a moody old man, I think most of my anger is vented towards my employer and the media. Fook knows were all this came from, I'm normaly
