Plus I might add, the bonuses are not paid to all CS staff. People are written up and put into a "pool" of similar grade staff but not comparable employment. Last time I went through this ritual humiliation I was in a pool of 8 which included 3 of my work colleagues, a met man, an H&E adminstrator, 2 people from Abbey Wood Procurement and a lecturer from a Staff College. Eight years ago BTW.
