I used to get a £50 bonus at Xmas form my last boss, when it parked on a farm. This was also subject to tax.......

One day, a decade ago or so; I took the two blokes who worked with me to Lords to watch Horsham play in the national cricket final. :001_smile:Had a great day:001_smile:

In fairness these things are easier to do on a whim in very small outfits.

Your boss is amazing....

I very occasionally let the guys have a lunch break, unpaid of course.

[Johny Walker]

took my lad out of the yard @ 7.30 & brought him back @ 4pm ,cracking day out ,hedging & a few trees , but he wanted paying

Sometimes let them ride to the jobsite with me,but under strict instruction not to fart,spit,smoke,or relate last nights liason with some young 'lady' ,whilst in the vehicle.

[Stephen Blair]

Been there , done that , paid for breaky every day for months and years in some cases, gave bonuses, let them use kit and vehicles and most of them would come out a shop and never think to buy me a juice!!!

Nights out, meals , bowling, currys.

Even bought 1 a car once and another lad sorted his £32k worth of credit cards and gave him saws and hedge cutters and a friend gave him a van and I did all his trees at his house costing me £500.

I gave the guys £80 bonus for 2 hours work ontop of their wages.

Never heard from him again!

Put 2 guys through chainsaw courses, 1 never came back to work and threatened me so I gave him money, the other chucked it soon after for another job!

The more you give the less you get from my experience!

 

You sound like an appreciative guy, you are a rare breed!!

 

Ranty rant over!
