And yes, a bonus is sign of reward for either hard work or loyalty :smt045

+1...the guys who are grade 6 and above (45k+) get bonuses...

the guys who are grade 5 ( 30 - 44999k) get naff all yet we seem to work harder than the prats above us!

Figure that one out..They are highly paid imbersiles and then when we work hard they benefit again....some of them on a 20% bonus!

SO i must figure away to ge my next grade because to tell u the truth...

IM JUST SO GOD DAM JEALOUS!

MissYC, I'm sure Matalan (have no idea what they are like as an employer) wouldn't fund a retention drive by giving everyone ?30 of vouchers, it's not enough to keep someone from leaving but it's a nice token of recognition.

It's strange the effect of giving a bonus can have. My company did not pay one department an annual bonus last year as they thought the amount was derisory (?500!!) and the recipients would treat it with suspicion, this was based on the perceived attitude of the staff. Absolute rubbish and who would turn down ?500. It went back in the the same bonus pool our CEO had ?2.3m out of!

I guess what I'm trying to say is make sure you make it as easy as possible for management to give you a bonus, if they are up to something (like retaining staff) then your in a good position.

Well I've been there one and a half years and have just handed in my notice last week so I'm in a good position because if I'd have decided to hand it in just a couple of weeks earlier I probably wouldn't have got the bonus haha.

Am also in a good position because I should be able to return in the autumn, however that will depend on whether my position is open. So am not complaining!


Now the only dilemma is what do I spend my £30 on! Couldn't have chosen a better time, nothing like a bit of retail therapy in the middle of revision and exams haha :smt003

sort of paid holidays. they take our salary for the 40 weeks we work and divide it by 12. I finish up end of June til mid August and still get a full salary in July and August. When I say a full salary I mean my usual salary as i would not describe it as full lol

You're right it is a nice token, just very unexpected lol. I'm not good with surprises :rolleyes:
