I can beat them allā¦I could have got Ā£200 xmas bonus, Wow thats good but you needed to work ALL your days off over november and december! up to the 24th.
Well im not getting a bonus this year as I refuse to work more than 6 days out of 7, and even then there is a 99% chance I wont make the 6th day!
as a coach driver can you drive 7 days out of 7ā ā ?
![]()
Yeah thats right. If I was working for a coach company then those rules would apply. I just started a new job for First Glasgow recently and rules dont seem to apply to them (or so they think anyway) because they are local services.
Well I got Ā£250,no complants at all.
Please have a happy christmas yeall
Yes, we get a bonus - don`t know how much, but the best bonus I get is knowing I work for a good boss, who treats me as a professional, and respects my opinion
Merry Christmas

Bottle of vodkaā¦plus an advance on this weekās wages which bears no resemblance to the hours Iāll have actually workedā¦
I got Ā£500 and am well chuffed with it, but for me the best bonus is being home with my family for xmas & the new year. Not back to work till the 5th of Jan
Ā£15 M&S gift voucher and told that we shouldnāt really be getting anything as our bonus is going back in January to a fleet of brand new Actrosās!

It is very poor when you think more about getting a new truck (which I might add is not yours) to getting paid a bonus. I am reminded of a conversation overheard somw years back between two drivers from Linconshire, one asked āAre you getting an anual raise this year?ā
āNo , the boss said I could have a raise or a new F10, I took the new F10ā
Time will tell and I hope you will see that your own welfare is far more important than your bosses new trucks.
No bonus as such, BUT My new gaffer did invite us all up the house for a meal today (well his wife did) BUT we couldnt go as Im still as sick as a lodging house cat with the flu! This flu is damned ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā , Im wondering will it ever go.

Sounds like you got the same Flu I did for Xmas Mal.
Donāt make me laugh. Not even a thanks for the years work. Iāll be making a move to boxes methinks at least you donāt have to handball stuff in the freezing cold and make your joints ache.
Its mule Alli, Im no better today and although determined not to plunge headlong into self pity, the lack of a good nights sleep is making it harder! I just hope its gone well before the 5th!

Keep taking beechams powders, i got over it in 3 days which was lucky.
Ive tried all sorts of foul remedies! But now its penicillin, as the infections moved into me ears. The best thing is, I know one or two thatve have it, and it seems like about 2 weeks is the max so far. Fingers crossed! The bloody agency phoned me today for some work as Im off, but I cant do it, typical! GRRRR!
Mal.
Iāll really [zb] you off Mal!
I became ill with a sickness thing in the second week of September. The following week I caught the flu thing and it stayed with me one way or another until the last week of November!!
Iām generally quite healthy and shake off these things in a couple of days, but not this one.
Anyway, sorry for cheering you up m8!
Nice try! L.
Jesus Nightowl! I really hope it aint going to last that long!!
Mal.
