We got Christmas bonuses the last 2 years
which were just enough to pay of my overdraft, and I'm really hoping they do it again this year, or I am , financially, up shit creek.

What is this B O N U S of which you speak?
They stopped them the year I started here (13 fucking years ago!)

We get nowt either.
Not even a party anymore. No more pay rises, although they still happily pay performance bonuses to the people that don't actually need one (i.e. managers and team leaders) who get rewarded based on their staff doing all the fucking donkey work to hit targets etc.

/is not bitter at all, despite ensuring that enough projects were appraised and approved last year to spend the budget and more.

Yeah, sad innit?
I'm lucky enough to work for a company that does stuff to do with Freview Boxes. in a recession people tend to stay home and watch more TV, they also tend to downgrade from Sky and the like to Freeview, coz it's free like. So we are actually doing quite well, and coz it's a nice company, unlike the last shower of cunts I worked for who did basically the same thing but managed to loose money doing it, they pass on the good fortune. Surprised the hell out of me the first time too as I'd thought bonuses were extinct. So feel free to hate me, I'm sure I deserve it.
