Foolish question in the extreme. The company knows we are expecting the 13th month on merit. To give any other answer other than a demand for our rightful payment is playing right into their attempt at expectation management. Every CX employee insists on their rightful payment. End of.
absolutely we will get it, all employees deserve it. Cathay is still making money!
If for some reason we were not to receive it the company should have notified well in advance, many rely on it for tax purposes

At KA it's contractual so they will be paid 13th month as they should. Hard not to pay it at CX now that we are all one big happy...
If they don't pay it or cap it to screw over the higher paid employees, I suspect the roster will be extremely unstable for the next few months.
Just an observation.

Quite simple, most of us will simply even the slate....... Skiing in February suits me in that case. I suggest the rest of you start planning your own compensatory months off.
Yeah, stop training our cheap replacements and contributing to the downward spiral of our salaries and conditions.
I suggest that you start planning your resignation from your voluntary training position instead.

I never thought I would say it, I did not think it was possible. THANK YOU CX.
I guess they are looking to turn a corner with staff relations. Funny how everyone was spreading the doom and gloom and it has actually gone a bit the other way. 125% of a months salary paid along with Dec pay. Hot of the press on intracx!
AWESOME!!!

Expectation Management
You have to give it to CX, they're experts at dirty mindf*cking.
Step 1: fabricate and spread a rumor about the 13th Month not being paid.
Step 2: Do not say anything to let the nervousness and concern simmer a bit.
Step 3: Pay the 13th Month.
Step 4: Watch as a relieved group of employees has subtly but suddenly accepted the fact that the 13th Month card can and will be used against them when needed.
If only they applied as much astuteness in running the business as they did trying to screw their employees, they'd be making billions instead of losing them on stupid bets.

It was 'Gerry and the Pacemakers' in the early nineties (no kidding, it was a headline in the AOA 'Flyleaf').
And we know how that turned out, don't we.

Doesn't take a genius to realise we are heading for a loss this year - take a look a % revenue decline on IntraCX on a regular basis and it's clear to see. The fact that the 13th month is being paid surprises me to an extent. I for one am delighted - it's not - and has never been - an entitlement; it has always been discretionary. Changes are afoot I'd say, and for good reason (given current state). Am personally grateful for the 13th month. If you recall, we didn't get it in full in 2008.
