I think the message is: no-one will be able to do the job that long henceforth. Maybe they'll improve the 10 year service award in newfound recognition of the superhuman physical endurance required to last a decade.ted_e_bear wrote: ↑15 Jan 2024, 13:29Anyone would think they couldn't give a f**k about their staff![]()

Re: Long service reward...20 yrs what did you get ?
How long should the extra weeks leave take to be added? I would have thought the day after you've done 20 years.
Our Manager said it won't show up on the Leave Card until NEXT year
That sounds like BS to me ... but I wouldn't put it past RM. Great Job ... Shite Company!

Forty year man just got his 'reward' for his long service. A day in lieu plus £200 in vouchers. So a fiver for each year of service. Frankly, I wonder why they bother.

Re: Long service reward...20 yrs what did you get ?
I used to pay for the full 6 weeks leave, I'm pretty sure when I passed 20 years the deduction stopped, so part way through the leave year if that's any help, if not what about checking on the people app I'd assume it should be an automatic adjustment rather than something your manager should do but cba.Dorset Plodder wrote: ↑31 Jan 2024, 16:01How long should the extra weeks leave take to be added?

And yourself as you are paid for overtime. I’ve paid for holidays with the OT I have done over the years. It isn’t a punishment.norris9 wrote: ↑31 Jan 2024, 19:31Imagine doing overtime daily for 40 years and getting next to nothing.....DiamondSmiles wrote: ↑31 Jan 2024, 18:10Forty year man just got his 'reward' for his long service.

Anyway, OT at a MC is a piece of piss for the likes of yourself, while OT at a DO is physically and mentally destructive.
Glad I'm out of that cesspit of a company haha

Why bother ? Same as anyone else who works. Pay the mortgage, bills holidays and get a pension . What do you expect ? A knighthood?DiamondSmiles wrote: ↑31 Jan 2024, 18:10Forty year man just got his 'reward' for his long service. A day in lieu plus £200 in vouchers. So a fiver for each year of service.

Re: Long service reward...20 yrs what did you get ?
I hate to be positive but from a council estate with £50 in my pocket to owning a house in one of the countries most expensive cities all by doing OT. Yes it was tough but I'm not one who thinks he is entitled and owed a living.LouBarlow wrote: ↑31 Jan 2024, 21:07And yourself as you are paid for overtime.
