What ever happened to " team " , the workers united , a solid front and comrades lets stick together? :left: All the usual bullshit you get when you throw away money on useless strikes. We get shafted in the end as always.
Everyone’s out for themselves

I turned up every day and delivered everything I was asked to, but only got £100 bonus. One fifth of the promised amount. A real con.

We got zero. No surprises as the office does badly all year around. Not just at Christmas, then it's just extra s**t.

Out of the headline 500 figure, anybody who got the bonus could only get max 250 if their office hit the targets each week. Nationally the company failed. We got zero. :Boo hoo!

Not a chance, most of the us worked over every day, however. We didn't have any agency staff or extra vans. Totally drained, walks were doubled up most days.

Not really a con, it was obvious that no one was ever going to get the full £500 as it relied on every DO and MC in the country clearing everyday, something that was never going to happen.

Probably best we didn't. I think had everyone got the 500 quid it would've cost the company about half a billion quid. Probably would've sent us under. Gives you some idea about how realistic it actually was. That said, I got 100 quid so ain't gonna moan.

£500 x 100,000 workers = 50 million
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Everything is pro rata. You work the same or harder and get less.
If you worked up to FT hours for any qualifying weeks(providing you passed that weeks target) you got the full amount for that week. Then it depends how well your DOM/Com fudged the figures as it's all creative accounting.

We had agency staff and extra vans plus an abundance of guys willing to clear and got about 170 quid which just shows how unfair and unjust it is compared to offices like yours.

How do you guys know how much you’re getting?
Our manager hasn’t briefed us and claims not to know if we’re getting anything?
