Re: Xmas bonuses
 

I worked in a refinery in Aus.

On different Christmases we got:

$100 gift voucher
some Mayfair and Jackson crockery
A food flask with the company name on it
A lions club Christmas cake.
Plus a party every year.

In UK, we get a party....

Re: Xmas bonuses
 

Got me usual $50 voucher ....which will be used in Dan Murphy's :sneaky: and a free nosh up at the Brisbane Lions club as well :thumbsup:

Re: Xmas bonuses
 

We got a nice wet weather system.
No parties, no bonuses, no time off, even have to pay for our own food and drink while working over Christmas....but I still love my job.....I must be seriously weird :lol:

QLD Public service isn't it.

Do you get an allowance or OT for public holiday work?

Re: Xmas bonuses
 

I hope you make a good tax claim for all that food ;)

Re: Xmas bonuses
 

No grounds for it! Just working normal shifts so just eating as normal, just cos its Christmas doesn't make it claimable :(

Re: Xmas bonuses
 

Meet another Christmas worker. I'm on call from this evening for three weeks. :unsure:

Re: Xmas bonuses
 

I shall catch you online at strange hours of the night then :D

Re: Xmas bonuses
 

Almost certainly. 3am phone calls are such a joy. :)

Re: Xmas bonuses
 

I love making them.......its that moment when the person on the other end is muttering " oh **** what time is it WHOthehellisriningingatthishour......." and then they realise its the work phone and they have to switch their brain on fast :D And the more important the person you're ringing, the greater the sense of satisfaction at waking them! :rofl:

Re: Xmas bonuses
 

The company I last worked for in Oz for 8 years used to call us into the boardroom a few days before Christmas and the manager would give us the speech about profits, losses, blah blah blah then he would announce our bonus which would be between 1 to 3 weeks pay dependent on profits for the year. :thumbsup:

The company I work for now? NADA. :(

Re: Xmas bonuses
 

OH should get a bonus in the new year, after the profits have been calculated. I'm hoping it is a big one, as I may soon be forced to give up my job due to deteriorating health, and we need every penny (still can't say cent!)
