Christmas Tip from Depot management

Post by cantonkid1955 »

What reward did you get from your own depots as a " thank you "for your hard work over the busy Christmas period..for going over and above,,for "going the extra mile"..ensuring that your depot was cleared,,
Did you..like my depot..get a small plastic bag with 10 Heroes chocholates inside..?..Did your chest expand ,,and did you grow 3 feet taller when your Ops manager handed you the small bag of Heroes and extended his hand to shake yours,whilst thanking you profuselyfor everything you did in the run up to Christmas..?
Lest us all know what reward you all got,,

As far as I am aware the depot management make this decision, they an allocation of how much they can spend per depot employee, I can't tell you what that is now but we didn't do to bad, we had an advent for each shift where all got allocated a day number, everyone got something from this, myself I got a £25 Shine voucher, others got higher spend vouchers some less, also there were other gifts such as sets of bluetooth ear pods' all in all it was appreciated by most, on top of this we got a couple of cans of beer.

Most of us got the Shine vouchers. Would have obviously preferred the £500 bonus that was on offer last year for helping clear the office but the main reason why we never met any of the delivery targets last Xmas is because we were short staffed.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
