£200 bonus!

Post by bigtee »

Has anyone heard about a £200 bonus being part of this pathetic deal? One of the lads said as a good will gesture for calling off the strikes, RM will pay a £200 Christmas bonus this year!

I see the old Chinese whispers are in full flow and the deal is barely 48 hours old. :Very Happy

At my office they once sold a 20 min break for £200.
Rm management must have laughed all the way to the bank.
That was over 10 years ago, 20 mins of break 5 days a week!
They even voted for it!

By law you only get 20 minutes for every 5 hours you work. But yeah, that is a crap deal! Illustrates the weakness of the class at the moment though, along with many other things.

I'm so brassic next week's wage slip has negative equity......but I'd still tell them to stick it, as my goodwill costs a damn sight more ( 100% dignity & respect, 100% of the time is the price for my goodwill )
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?
