This is verging on the requirement for a "what on earth are you talking about?" rating

[Imonster]

John Lewis, I think?

That is a massive bonus...

I'm disappointed though; I googled it hoping to find mention of some new bonus for cohabiting couples, or something...

I was talking to a mate who works as an auditor for a big insurance company, anyway he was having a moan about how all he was getting was 5% as a bones this year.

Out of interest i asked "so how much does that amount to?"

He replied "only £8k"



I was gob smacked, i just kinda said "ermmmmm ok, and to think i got a free cup of coffee for going into work when it snowed, what is the world coming to?"

[Redoko]

Boots and new lid.

Wasn't last years only 13%?




I was expecting 15% at most.

I got a whopping £72 for my first ever bonus I only work 2 days a week though, and people who work full time at my place barely got much more because of the tax man, pension funds etc.

My bonus this year was ok ish.
Not as much as the flush days of 7 years ago ... but better than last years which was a big fat zero.

Most of my bonus goes on tax, ni and student loan, £3500 it cost me last year

Wouldn't mind 18% though!

What's a bonus?

A "bonus" is a cunning accounting trick to keep salaries and salary related benefits like pension contributions down to a minimum. The great thing is that you can give your staff a swingeing pay-cut any time you like, blame it on them being slackers, and there's damn-all they can do about it. Neat, huh?

So are John Lewis Partnership salaries 10 or 15% lower than they should be and just bolstered by the bonus?
