I got a generic email thanking me for all my hard work and commitment.
X2 bottles of wine, a little luxury hamper and x4 days buckshee leave, those who had booked the time off already will get the days paid in leu.
I got what I consider enough. My boss got plenty of rounds in a couple of weeks ago at the pub and this week the owner gave me £30 which to me is more beers. So after a year grafting I get plenty of beers so im happy.
Got some cash in an envelope - not as much as some here but more than others . Was also told that come April I will be getting a new FH4 500 and in the new year I’ll be going with the boss to help spec it . To say I’m pleased is an understatement as in nearly 20 years driving its only the second brand new lorry I’ve ever had (the first was a ERF EC11 that the other 2 drivers in the firm I worked at then refused to drive ).
I always took the view that I do a job and I get paid for doing it and never expect a bonus and I certainly don’t winge or complain if I don’t get anything . That said when you do get something its a nice feeling to realise that somebody thought you were worth it to go and get you something .

Don’t tell your boss that. I can see it now…
Beefy: “I see my new FH4 is in the yard, gimme the keys boss ha ha”
Boss: “er, yeah, meant to have a little word with you about that. We’ve had to give it to Bogdan Raczynski over there, as he’s only ever driven a farm tractor with a hydrostatic transmission. Didn’t you say you can drive twin splitter? Ah good. Here’s some keys, the one with the blue tape round the fob is for the driver’s door, red is the passenger. The plain one the ignition key, and the one with the ‘D’ scratched into it is for the diesel tank, don’t worry though, I promise you a new FH4 the following year”

Sorry we don’t have any "ski’s " employed at our place and unlike some of the bosses people work for our Boss means what he says . I’ve been offered plenty of jobs that pay more than what I earn at the moment and I turned them all down . Its not all about terms and conditions - I work with a great bunch of lads - we all work well as a team (office and drivers ) we work hard and play hard as well . We go the extra when neededand the boss knows it and he looks after us as well .
Dont want to name the company but we got £ 12 in house voucher.
doodly squat
xmas card turkey and 520 plus 50% on top as the firm had another good year for the 3rd year running but that got taxed aswell.
I worked for some large companies and also a small family firm where I was the only employee. It was only the small family concern who gave something at Christmas, usually a hamper which was appreciated. one large company did give an annual ‘safe driving bonus’ at Christmas though, usually £20 per annum after so many years working there but that was taxable of course, plus if you bent something or somebody hit you you lost it anyway.
Pete.
Marks and spencer workers get 20% off every thing

A box of chocolates, pen and lanyard from the agencyPaid 15 hours for working Xmas eve
Then they informed us that we have to get to Cairnryan by 1430 and wait there until the ferry comes in at 1800 so we will be working 14 hours anyway. I will gain 1 hour as a bonus
Unless my trailer has a puncture which is not uncommon. 60-90 minutes plus time to fix it = a night out and run in on Xmas morning at a minimum of 9 hours at double time plus I would still have time to get my homework done on Xmas day
Was that for Asda per chance■■? Grangemouth depot?
Christmas bonus? What’s that? Last job I had where I got a Christmas bonus was my paper round!

I gave myself SFA this year, I dropped a couple of hundred into my drivers sky rocket in the pub Xmas eve and paid for his half of a pig that we bought between us, it had already been murdered, peeled and chopped up, which was handy.
The company I pull for has a profit share which we get in February, it’s a percentage of the gross revenue my trucks earned in 2016, I got 3k last year, but they bought 200 new trailers this year, so I don’t know if it will be as much this time around.
