Don't look a gift horse in the mouth because it's better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick!
Remember it's a bonus not a right! Some companies don't pay bonuses!

Can't understand why people expect a bonus! A bonus is exactly that.....a bonus! We get paid to do our work and anything else is.....A BONUS!

but the point is, the work is tenfold at xmas compared to normal times, that's why we get a bonus and in my opinion, the fact that it has remained at £100 for the last 20 odd years, speaks volumes on how royal mail value us, managers get 20 times the amount and don't deliver a single letter!!!!

My grandmother always used to say "never look a gift horse in the mouth", taken from the days when presented with a horse it would be rude to check its' teeth suggesting that the gift would be less than perfect, mind you this is Royal Mail and to get the money we're working like carthorses :cuppa
