Seaman,
Sorry, but I haven't seen any of this. All I've seen recently is a lot of trumpet blowing and back-slapping about how much monet they're making. They are a bit worried about fuel costs (oil back to $100 give or take) but the message I've got is it will be a record profit.
What form has this hedging and minimising of profit and bonus taken that you've heard or read?
Moral down because we're working to hard, haven't got productivitey back and things like education have been frozen, sure all true.
But nothing has led me to expect any less than a pretty good bonus- I'll be p1zzed off if it's less than ten weeks.
