An interesting question especially with the high price of fuel. Is that going to be taken into account for next years target? It should be,as that's what we've been constantly reminded about this year.Setting unrealistic targets merely puts enormous pressure on dept's to cut costs regardless,like recruitment freeze for example.That can't continue year on year or eventually the Airline will grind to a hault.
Give everyone a decent salary in the first place, then set a realistic target. And why exactly 4 weeks. Always a convenient round number isn't it. Do you think we've been rounded up or rounded down.....mmmm?
The problem with the current system is that when you're given the likes of 10 weeks profit pay one year, if you don't better it the following year you feel cheated.
.....And that's a feeling I think many will have right now

A 'generous' bonus? I don't think so. When will those at the top of the food chain realise that many of us here are not happy and that a 'generous' 4 weeks is not what we expected. Sorry but the CVs are now being sent out.

The one thing that would be nice to know would be how many weeks the senior managers get. Last year, I believe it was significantly more than the 10 weeks us plebs received.
BTW Ringa, I checked last year's May pay slip, and it was actually 70 days they gave us, so expect the 4 weeks will get you 28 days.
Now, does anybody know anything about a UAE labour law regarding payment of a 13th month salary, as per our expat colleagues in Asia?

Speaking for the other 1180 of us who are just muddling along enjoying ourselves, I'd say we can't wait to see the back of you.
You know you would have made the same post whether it was eight weeks or twelve weeks.
Tiresome git.

That's not true mate & has allways been a miss informed rumour post profit share.
I don't think 4 weeks is fare for the effort on our part but your just doing the maths wrong.
You will get 4 weeks :
Pre bonus salary, times 12, divide by 365, times 28. = dhs to pay off the credit card.
cheers
