Work being generous?

Ok so got into work yesterday, the oh so lovable chain store Matalan, and was given a 'bonus' of ?30 in vouchers randomly to spend instore, for those of us who have been there since before November

Now I reckon the guys up top have basically added up all the money us as employees have spent since the store opened (that being last January) and divided it up between us...so basically we're think we're getting bonuses when they're just given us back what we've spent, only to be spent again

Now I'm probably wrong but I don't think we ever get much from employers for nothing. This kind of thing would just be a good incentive for current employees to stay on in the hope of getting the bonuses again

So anyway, I'm wondering if bonuses are common among you hard workers, and if so what do you get?

only bonus is lots of holidays

Yep, we get a performance bonus.................every month we turn over more than 120k in sales we get a percentage of the amount.

That's good, least you have something to look forward to that way and I guess work towards


I handed in my notice there last week, so tis just as well I didn't leave any earlier haha #takes vouchers and runs #

Had performance related bonuses in the past, and they've been very welcome. One of my mates works in the city on big bucks, some sort of IT bod for a French insurance/pensions company. He's on majorly big money to start with, approaching six figures, and his yearly bonus last year was 124% of salary, yes, he more than doubled his yearly salary with one bonus payment. I want his job.

Get paid holiday, full-sick pay for up to 6 months, pay for travel time, 63 quid tax free for every night I stay away from home and a bonus payable for each job I work on!

I like my job!

Bunch of company shares and bunch of pounds's

Lol, well seemingly bonuses must be common, good to know people are being rewarded for all their hard work!

(although I understand that one's definition of hard work may be a little debatable )

Hey, I work at Matalan in skem, crap arent they ? well actually I used to work for matalan then they sold out the drivers to a logistics company called wincantons and guess what they,re worse cant beleive I'm smiling. Although one year I got ?565 in bonuses so I invested in Matalan at ?5 a share, then sold em when they hit ?29 a share so I suppose I cant complain, so you must work at the aber store then ? small world, wouldnt want to paint it though

You see, the management can't do any right can they!!

Look its a little 'tankyou' ... to them a ?30 store voucher is probably only going to cost them what a fiver, perhaps a tenner? everyone's happy .. or at least they should be unless their name is MYC obviously!!

And yes, a bonus is sign of reward for either hard work or loyalty
