management bonus scheme details?
Do we know any details of the management bonus schemes. How does lasping figure into this and which tier of management gets what ratio?
It would be nice to let the people who run around and use thier own cars who they are working for free for (if that makes sense).

Re: management bonus scheme details?
I think it's based on failure. The worse they perform, the more money they get. At least that's what seems to happen with the most senior Managers anyway!
But seriously: Unless one of the Managers on here choose to tell you, I doubt that any of us will ever know.

I was told once it was local ,area and national performance. Senior managers scrutnise not just the hours being used but the way local mangers are running the place.

In a public company surely this should be public knowledge.

Can a manager on the site please put us out of our misery.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: management bonus scheme details?
This how management's bonus scheme works.
The harder and faster YOU work, the bigger and juicier THEIR bonus is. It requires the barest minimal of effort on their part, and what can only be described as, HERCULEAN EFFORT from YOU.
That counts as being fair, in the world of the "something for nothing" brigade, aka, the middle class.

Re: management bonus scheme details?
I believe your unit`s sick absence is also taken into account. The fact that if you go a whole year without any sick
gets you nothing, it will trigger a bonus payment for your manager ! They reap what you sow.

Re: management bonus scheme details?
That makes a lot of sense. But what happens if they do really well on the budget, but quality suffers. Do they still get a bonus, or can one cancel out the other?Steviea34 wrote:Unit achieves budget/GROUP acheives PROFIT = % of bonus, hits quality target = % of bonus, bearing in mind the strikes last year , we failed mostandy2007 wrote:I think it's based on failure.

The reason I'm asking is that although it's obviously going to be a different scheme for the more senior Managers. They do seem to have their bonuses attatched to profits at the expense of everything else. I'm not trying to be unpleasant here. I'm just curious. Because it's important to understand how this works. As it will affect the Manager's priorities.

I would imagine in future it will be tied into this "Top 10%" bollox....so watch your back.

Yes mate , quality will effect his bonus, that is why the fiasco in Scotland with test letters & panellists came to light.andy2007 wrote:That makes a lot of sense.

Although there was mention of quality in the area to avoid fines etc, individual M.C & D.O bonuses would be affectded
