Ofcourse you are right.
The profit share is not, as it appears, some 'gift' from a benevolent benefactor given in 'gratitude' for all the hard work and sacrifices made by all the staff throughout the year. Instead it has become in lieu of a proper payrise needed to off set the increase in inflation and other cut backs and changes in T&Cs which have taken money out of the monthly paycheck.
Rightly or wrongly, many rely on this annual ritual to pay off debts accrued throughout the year due to a p#ss poor basic wage.
