No Bonus.

adamtheaddick

Just been told no one getting a bonus this year. usually get at least a weeks money and from the CEO directly, he would come around and give us assistants a card with cash in. we all thought this was the case as no one got a summer bonus either. Dosnt bother me at all to be honest would have just spent it on presents for the family and spent what was left in the pub. Anyone else get one or not?

The way my company has been making cutbacks the bonus i got was that i've still got a job!

Am due a performance related bonus in january but i have a feeling no matter how well i've done it'll be scrapped.

You're more likely to get a bonus than a payrise next year - it's cheaper for your company as they don't have to make the NI or pension payments.

Got tupe'd over from a public sector job so don't get bonuses, but had a small pay rise in November so am not complaining.

I got a pay rise last week - I wasn't expecting one at all in the current economic conditions, so to get anything at all was a pleasant surprise - and what i did get was more than i would have expected in a 'normal' year. Plus a nice chat with the US parent company thanking me for my contribution over the past year, asking whether I was happy and (more importantly) whether I was thinking of leaving! A world of difference between that and my last job (public sector) where I was lucky if I even got an acknowledgement for the extra hours I regularly worked, let alone any extra money for it. Now watch me get outsourced or offshored halfway through next year...

They don't give them to students which is an outrage. Who's with me!?

I wonder how many City bigwigs had spent their anticipated £100k bonus well before they get told now that they are no longer getting them. :-)

P.S. Last time I got a bonus was at LTSB in 1995.

I'm public sector and get performance related pay which usually consists of additional increments, bonuses or both, in exceptional circumstances (i.e. if your face fits)

Tell me about it mate.

Girlfriend just rung and she's got her bonus today, half of what she got last year but still a tidy sum, one of the lucky ones I suppose.
