"Have you got one?

No from temp agency nor placement

Not applicable

No as both company are a profits-before-people-firm

No can't get holiday for NYD, as hols only run Jan-Dec, not Apr-Mar like other places.

Happy New Year go get another job.

(If you work in the same place for more than 3 months, then you should be taken on. 15 months later that will never happen)

No leaving gift either!

BAH HUMBUG to them!

It is a token of esteem and appreciation, traditionally given to staff by their employers

My work made 124.2 million in profits last year. They paid out dividends of 5 million.

For us grunts on the ground we get a cheap box of dinner mints and a cheap bottle of wine or port. Usually totally undrinkable.

So safe to say they dont think too much of us on the ground.

I too am a pensioner and being in receipt of a state pension I receive a £10 Christmas bonus of which I will pay £2 income tax, As I turn 80 next month my pension will increase by 25p per annum which is also taxable. I donate both sums to charity along with my £200 heating allowance which I really do not need.

This heating allowance is not means tested as my sister and her husband (both in their 70s) get £200 between them, Their combined annual income is in excess of £200K. They too donate the heating allowance to charity.

We get chuff all.

Employers don't appreciate us but they sure as hell appreciate the salaries they get.

I tell a lie, we get a thank you. But it's a "thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice..... we outdid last year by 5% and had record breaking takings" which should be followed by "none of which you'll ever see" but they seem to forget that bit.

Well I have just received an email. Second hand mind you that we, the hard working staff, have been gifted a thank you gift

We have been given a choice

I know your all excited now aren’t you

Well

Gift option 1. Tub of celebrations or roses. Cost 3.50

Gift option 2. White or red wine. Cost 3.99

What could I say that was polite to my boss

I think it is a bit harsh!

How do you know the company is not short of a few quid?

Do you have access to the company p&l?

I am not trying to be funny here. The truth is you may have no idea what he is going through and atleast he/she cared to give you something. A bit of gratitude will go a long way. That is my 2 cents!

Yes I’m being harsh. I’m sorry I should really have thought that having an after tax profit last year of 32 million and a staff base worldwide of 27000 would indeed have an impact on showing gratitude to their staff who helped furnish their new homes last year. How inconsiderate of me

PS have a merry Christmas
