In 2006 I got a Ferrari trackday for generating £100k GP in my first year.
In 2007 I got a 17" LCD TV for generating £550k GP

So this year I have mostly been sat around drinking coffee. Hoping for another Ferrari wink

Mr Norwegian Tax Man only takes half of my normal income tax in December as a treat.

From my employer I'm hoping for enough time off over Christmas to warrant me visiting family back in England for the 25th and won't find out until 1st Dec.

Last year I got a 10% rise, an extra 3 days holiday and £5k tax free (i.e. they paid the tax)

This year I'm not holding my breath!

We get fk all of nothing as always.

Same most years . . VP's get there bonus and pay raise in July and another at christmas, come Christmas there is always some "financial issue" "credit crunch" "loss of accounts" that gets in the way.

We had our anual email the other day saying blah blah blah world financial crisis blah blah blah economic turn down. Yet we are winning more business than ever!

Good job i left 3 years ago and then came back to the company for a 50% pay increase otherwise i would be really pissed
