Thumbs down BACX Xmas Bonus

It arrived this morning - a voucher for £35 (yes, THIRTY FIVE QUID)
inside a card from Evans, from a man who in his brief tenure of CitiExpress has closed 5 bases, axed a fleet of aircraft, ruined 2 viable companies and screwed up the lives of many hundreds of good people.

The creation of BACX has been a huge undertaking and has relied on the professionalism of all concerned to buckle down and get the job done - and this is how it is rewarded.

This sop is an insult and it will be returned to Evans with explicit instructions as to where to put it which even he will understand.

I urge all BACX employees to do like wise.

How does our £35 compare to other bonuses?

Er.....if anybody really doesn't want these things, may I send my address? If that doesn't appeal, I'm sure there are lots of charities who would be delighted to accept the fruits of your dissatisfaction.......

I got £11 (in Cash).
So, you've still got a job this Christmas then, lucky you , eh ?

If you wait 'til the sales start on Boxing day you'll find it will go much further.

Merry Christmas.

Big fat ZERO for me and my colleagues, as per the previous two decades.

Good suggestion, above, was to send yours to charity.

Cool

Make sure you declare it to the nice Taxman on time. Sure he will want a cut.

Order 'Marks & spencer' vouchers. buy something-take it back, get the cash. Mercinary but effective.

Let it cost them

Whilst I fully sympathise with Judge11's sentiments and reasons, as one who faces the P45, my own feelings are that I want to cost those responsible as much as possible and urge others under the same circumstances to do the same.

Bonuses are for good years... this was a bad one for most airlines so.... dont whine about it. If you are expecting a bonus means you have a job... good for you!
