Huge global company, and we get £25 towards a team meal.

But everybody's too depressed to organise a meal, so we end up with nothing.

blimey do you work with me?

we get £25 towards a meal, but you have to have a meal with members of other departmenst or teams or you dont get it, ie you and your mate cant just go out on £25 each.

annual performance and company bonus ( stopping this year) which works out around a months salary if you do your objectives and the salesmen get off their arses and sell, in Feb.

Misreading the other thread title made me curious as to how many people take home a little something extra at Christmas.

I work in an office and it's a fairly standard extra £50-£100 in your pay at Christmas, so nothing much.

I am going to sit down on Sunday and read your answers. If you don't answer, I'll go home.

I work for sainsburys...I don't know if we get a bonus or what, but i was on 6.57/h last month. this month I'm on 8.43/h, and this is part time only.

I'm moving to full time soon...

...I'm going to be minted.

started with my current company last november and gpt a small xmas bonus of £100 which was a great suprise:clap:,

been here a year now so will get a full bonus this year, based on company profit, i have no idea how well we've done so dont know how much, if anything, last year everyone got over £1k each so im hoping we had a good year...:lolol:.

I HAVE to use 3 days annual leave for xmas so I only get 17 days off for the rest of the year though, the only bad thing at the moment..

Every year I get a months bonus pay which is great coz it arrives just after xmas . Also get a 60 quid monthly pay rise each year - and I don't have to pay rent (in fact I get paid 180 a month because I share a single apartment with my wife!) Riding out the economic downturn in Asia is HELPING me SAVE!

Work for a certain catalogue retailer and I get Christmas Day off through the whole year, everyday other than that the shop is open! No bonus or £ toward a party, no managers bonus for anyone for the last 2 years!

Public sector, so: No bonus. No performance related pay. No extra time off. No tips. No free turkey or bottles of scotch. No company binges.

Shift work doing days and nights including weekends and bank holidays (no overtime, day in lieu). 78 hour week with minimum of 42 hours at the desk plus 36 hours on evenings and 24 hour stand by for call out. Often lose days off to urgent work commitments. Often very anti-social hours not condusive to family life. Contributed 12% gross for 30 years for a final salary pension scheme (income which is taxed twice). So planning to enjoy a healthy retirement. I'll be content just to savour as many Christmases at home as possible - and raise a glass to those that have to work over the festive season.

if we meet our sales targets we get £3,000 tax free and a goose. If we don't we just get the goose.
