I can't believe these people are getting a bonus. I can't believe it.
We are rewarding the very people who put in jeopardy the prospect of every other person in the company [entitled to the bonus] actually getting it.
£400.00 is a hefty chunk of money and I'm delighted to be getting it. But that those who have sent me nasty messages by text and on Facebook, those who chanted intimidating messages at me (indirectly) as I drove past them on the picket line during the strikes and those who put on such a disgusting display during their silly marches and open-top sightseeing tours to the high court are getting it too.... annoys the almighty crap out of me.
They'll just put this money into their "war chest" for the next strike.
This bonus is awarded - or should be awarded - for supporting the company in cutting costs, resulting in a certain level of profit. As I see it, though they may have done so for part of the year, those who went on strike and supported the industrial action didn't back the company for the full year. So it should either be pro-rated or not paid at all (and my vote is with the latter).
