Thats ridiculous. Greedy [edited by admin] should be paying their own staff. Unbelievable cheek to even ask! How much do they cream each week in radio rent?



£125 weekly



plus 20% off the top of all account work


plus loans for repairs

plus selling insurance on

Tell him to fuck himself. If you wan to buy the office staff something a £5 tub of roses will do them. Do you ask them for money when it's shit and your sat around doing nothing and they're on more than you?
Agreed.
Our office adds £10 to each cars December rents for the staffs 'xmas bonus' which equates to about £100 bonus for each staff member. Last year we lowered our fares and scrapped the highest tariffs at xmas and new year (T2 now instead of T3) so on every fare I lost the £3 extra charged at those times. Any operators working xmas day, boxing day and new years day get TRIPLE pay, QUADRUPLE between midnight and 7am !

So the drivers lost out on extra earnings but still had to pay a compulsory bonus to the office staff who all had a pay rise last year and again six months ago. :x

we have 2 weeks @ £20 extra rent ( xmas /new year) , have to pay , or you are gone, i fooking hate the bloke that runs our office, just a coke head !, cant wait till i get my hack & school run , sadly its a few years away, also cant wait till i hand my data head in , ( sure i will drop it & smash the screen on the way up the stairs though ;-))


If he's a coke head give the plod a nudge, I'm sure they'll be interested in him.


everyone knows exactly what hes like mate, he is quite open & blatant about the extras at xmas also, it goes to him, we have between 120-150 cars on for this firm , all have to pay the extra at the xmas/new years, the staff get about 20 quid bonus ( i asked them) the rest goes to him, his reason ? we are on higher tariff`s on xmas day/boxing day, nye & nyd & the work is up, i asked him if we could knock 20 quid off when on normal tariff & the work is slow?, he just laughed & walked off , i hate the bloke tbh , hes the greediest person i have ever met in my life & the bloke is rolling in cash thanks to us, still, my new datahead is worth a few bob apparently ( new autocab minos one) so he will lose out in the long run ;-)

Q. When you go on 2 weeks to Benidorm do you have to pay rent "to keep your slot open" ?
