do all offices get a monthly bonus?

[krussel]

Once had a 94p Productivity Bonus.
That was a wild month.

Oh no - for gods sake, don't tell me you squandered it on wine, women and carousing

I honestly don't know where it went.
I have absolutely nothing to show for it.

That's a pity! I was hoping for a blow by blow account of your fortnight in Bangkok.

oh tell us more

Seems like Royal Mail are running two different companies.Them that shout get a bit and them that dont get f..k all. Meanwhile no doubt if you have the name manager in your title you work for the third company which presumably is the holding company. It holds all the f....king savings we have made for them and distributes it to those that do f...k all.

Chess, Yul Bryner Queens and Oysters - That should cover it

I dont begrudge the london boys getting a bonus, have you seen the house prices there

That is what London Weighting is supposed to cover ( ha! ) - but the house prices don't revert to jack all when you cross a boundry, for example: Swanley DO ( my local office ) gets London Weighting, and house prices range from £147K to £250k check here, Sevenoaks DO ( which covers West Kingsdown about 3 miles from Swanley DO ) gets NO London Weighting and W. Kingsdown prices vary between £140k & £500k check here - I know you have to stop payments somewhere, but Swanley, like West Kingsdown, is controlled by Sevenoaks District Council - the only difference I can see is one is inside the M25 & one is outside.

Nonsense, that is just a rumour spread by the Northerners because they don't get London loading allowance, PBS, 4 day weeks and a special agreement.

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down IPS, and pay the DOM for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."
