Grenoside123 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 My husband's employers are the bees knees when it comes to thanking their staff at Christmas. They take all the staff out for an all expenses paid meal and drinks, give them small gifts (stolen, beer etc) along with their Christmas pay slips, and pay a substantial bonus. Plus they get a week's paid holiday between Christmas and new year. By comparison, my firm give us a box of biscuits and take a day's holiday from your allowance for Christmas day!

I wondered why the firm was giving stolen beer. Then saw the comma and realised it was: stollen, beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume both are private sector employers, in the cushy public sector I get no bonus, no biscuits, and have to work xmas day and boxing day for no extra pay. Living the dream.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 My wife's Christmas bonus was being told that her (and other employees) salary wouldn't be paid before the holiday, but on the 28th.... She should re-read her contract of employment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
