Â£400 bonus please clarify?

Post by **Judgee** » 14 Apr 2008, 18:33

Been reading all this Â£400 bonus stuff and when we will get it. Can someone please tell me is this the phantom share thing that I got a certificate for last year? If so my understanding was we would get 400 shares a year for three years and only be able to cash them in in 2010? Or has that been scrapped and this Â£400 bonus this year something new?

Who knows? I don't.

Who cares? I don't.

Â£400 today, Â£400 gone tomorrow, and a much harder working life stretching before us.

I can't help but think that sometimes, my fellow
citizens can be bought ever so very cheaply.

I am just baffled as to what happened to the share deal thing? I am used to being treated like a mushroom by RM [kept in the dark and fed lots of s**t] Just trying to work out whats going on thats all, and was hoping someone here could explain to me

Like everything else Lieton spouts, it's all bullshit. This is a publicly owned company, there can never be any sort of "share deal." What Lieton wants
to give us aren't "shares" in Royal Mail, but worthless pieces of paper instead of improvements in pay and conditions.

I'm a working man first and foremost. Lieton can stick his phony shares right up his arse, and if I never hear crap about "shares" again, it'll still be
too soon.

Told today that the blood money is being paid to us on 25th April. DOM said it has been confirmed by Area Manager. Kent area, but don't think all offices in area are getting it.

Weird i got no bonus in april, oh no hang on it was like 35 quid, i started in November so i think i shoulda got more, but ohwell, i hold no hope for the part time share of 400 quid either, maybe i'll make it to 40 quid lol, a cheap night out on the RM

In bold black writing taken from Royal Mail Group Letter which was I presume sent to all RM employees.

We are delighted to confirm that because this year's profit number is ahead of target we will be paying the Â£400 on 30 May for the overall performance of the company to all eligible employees, paid pro-rata for part-timers.

So looks as if the date is set for the 30th May 2008.
