pi_D Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I wonder what the non playing staff are thinking? I bet they feckin hate Ashley right now. Why didn't he just give them the 4k? Not on. :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 how do you know they don't already get a bonus and this isnt a bonus on top of that? ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on. :/ £4k is quite a hefty bonus at the moment tbf, think my last one was about 1.8% which unfortunately doesn't quite add up to £4,000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Given that the likelihood is we'll lose, the media heat he will bring on himself for the tea lady missing out on this bonus just seems futile. Typically myopic and idiotic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi_D Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Nah. It's a bit of fun that can potentially benefit all parties involved. If we lose, which is probable, so what? The staff had a bit of excitement, the players hopefully had some extra motivation etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Says something of the quality of the people that post on here, that when a man does something good, it gets shot down. Tea lady has chance of getting a wad of cash, wow..... so terrible..... im embarrassed to be a supporter today....how could she.... He should just give it to her either way then, or give it to her for something she can control. Yes. If my bonus was dependent on someone else's performance I'd probably leave that company, thanks very much. Standard practice in retail, the guys on the shop floor have very little influence on their bonus it's down to the decisions at the top in sourcing product, advertising, pricing etc. But I agree that the whole thing is crass, if he wanted to reward the rank and file he should have just done it rather than hinge it something out of their control.

You have to ask why would anyone do that at all, let alone do it so publicly? Or maybe the players will actually funking try?! and you'll end up fostering an already good relationship between players and non playing staff, lose or win. Obviously I don't know what the relationship between playing and non playing staff is, but I'd hazard a guess that's it's decent because if it's bad then yes this whole thing would engender dissatisfaction etc etc if we lose.

I'm not going to be upset with anyone if we lose, but I'll be chuffed if it works and it certainly adds an added interest to a nothing game. It's the last part of your post that seems to be fairly key. Simply sticks in the throat for some just seeing Ashleys name in the papers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
