The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
There are several internal political issues that mean that pay and bonus pots are minimal to the point of being non-existent in my part of the business. It sucks, but that's the cost of doing something that 'makes a difference'.
(I'm in the fraud department, for those that don't know. I have theiving b*stards locked up for a living. It's cool!)
I have never gotten a year end bonus. Thats a government job for you I guess. In the 3 1/2 years I have been there I have gotten a 3% raise and a 2% raise. They even owed me about 18 months of back pay last year amounting in about $8000. Do you think I got interest? Hell no. It was their fault too, they were paying me at the wrong rate from the beginning.
Perhaps I should have qualified my comment a bit, though. I was thinking of the Canadian govt., which might be worse. Stuff that mattered in their case includes things like base salary...
Good hours, though.
The more I talk with other people about their jobs, the more I like mine. Should do this more often.
Nice to see you back though Suey - where you been then eh?
Thanks Matey. I've been here and there. Round and about. Ducking and diving. Bobbing and weaving. (Plenty of bobbing actually, since the introduction of the twins! )
