If the company is making record profits through cost cutting and shrinking of staff no's at various levels - then the worker bees should be entitled to a little bonus, considering the head honcho is giving himself a whopping bonus year after year -furthermore as a shareholder in QF I want to see the staff happy and hopefully my dividends increase! (Happy staff mean hopefully more $$$ for me)
So Geoff, spend some of that profit and make the bloody staff happy, instead of lining your own pocket all the time.
