Off Topic Long Service Awards

[Howdentiger2]

Which company is this is it one of the big ones ?

Nope not a big (approx £130m turnover) well known name publicly. It's 100% employee owned so no outside shareholders etc to satisfy.

I see Rosie is now the 12th longest serving manager in the Championship and he's not been managing us for a year yet.

One more Championship manager sacking and half the managers from last season will have gone.

At least they don't have to worry about any long service awards.

No long service awards but always a nice pay off for getting the sack

 

[Help!]

I can't believe there's so many **** employers out there, all my staff got £500-1,000 each every Christmas, just for making it to the end of the year.

In the early ‘90s fresh out of uni and out of work just as the domestic PC market was taking off I went for a job pre-installing the bundled software onto them.

It was just pre-CD roms and the job essentially involved swapping the floppy discs as WordPerfect, Lotus 123 and dBase were installed from them. I never got the job so I can’t quite remember, but it was maybe 30 floppy discs onto however many PCs all day every day.

Anyway, they gave you a £400 retention bonus every 3 months, which I doubt was much to do with how great an employer they were as opposed to clear recognition that it might have been the most tedious ‘skilled’ (I use the term very loosely) job you could possibly imagine.
