Got a bit of a rant to vent..

After a recent survey on our teams performance we scored 100%.
So where is the rant then.
We fking work hard for our company and for ourselves but i am getting fking sick of usless managers asking for that little bit more and going that extra fking mile. We have not had a fking pay rise in 5years we don't get any annual bonus no fking profit shares there is no fking incentives to be had but they just keep asking for more. Well fk them all.
We work hard and we score 100% last year it was 98% and all they can do is ask for more rather than acknowledge our fking efforts thank us for doing well wait 2 fking weeks before having a go at asking for more. I meen we din't even get a company fking christmas card last year.
Don't get me wrong i enjoy the job i do and after this survey it shows we do work hard and excel in some areas but is it so hard for a company who is in the top ten in its field to take a moment and thank those poor little chaps at the bottom of a ladder as a simple thank you goes a long fking way.

Sorry for all the swearing but does this crap happen to any of you.

ETA if you're going to swear in your rants the. I'd like a bit of variation with the chosen word. A sprinkle of variety will get you good marks round here, maybe bd tt or maybe just an occasional motherfker?

We were supposed to have a 2% pay rise from 1st of august but that hasn't happened.
Our contracts manager is looking into it HA.
After his monthly meet he did ask if we could do a few extra jobs to help the client out a bit more.
So i suppose that if you are at the bottom of the food chain...

F.O.A Silver993tt

have been doing this job for 8yrs i really enjoy and i work hard as the survey results show.
You have the same attitude as my employers(maybe you are)So here is what you can do.
Buy a mirror look into it for quite sometime then look around you at your fellow man if that fails to make you a better person try something else but please keep trying.
You're comments don't bother me but the attitude to which you post doe's.
If you are an employer and you have that same attitude i very much doubt there is nice atmosphere with employees or any workmates.

Just had teams weekly buzz session with clients and guess what the whole half hour was a praise to all involved.
Unfortunatly this was from our companies clients rather than our company.
But there was a few buns and plenty of thanks for all.
Best of was that our scores were match to the rest of the national contracts and we were overall the best by over 10%.
This little thanks boosts the moral more than an argos voucher ever could.
woohoowoohoo

Anyone else notice that the self proclaimed "100% giving" worker is posting an awful lot during the working day?

I have no desire to change jobs.
My gripe is that the team worked hard to gain results from the clients survey that we scored 100%.
My contract manager had his monthly meeting yesterday and was told of the survey score but he failed to pass on any good feedback and he failed to even mention anything regarding the survey at all. However he did have a couple of stupid ideas that he thought could be implemented to further help the client.After years on this site myself and the rest of the team have come up with allsorts cost saving ideas to the client that has been rolled out nationaly.
But to me all he was trying to do is get a few brownie points off the survey results that he could take away with him to his boss.
Down side is i have more loyalty to the client and thier staff than i do the company that employes me.
