some of the long term managers only paid ?500 bond when joining the company     anyone lucky enough to get a bonus is having it taken off them to make the bond up to ?1000 even though their contract states ?500 i think this might be so he has got more bond to pick at

looks like bonuses are a thing of the past  latest letter states any surplus stock shortfall below 5% will be calculated as a retail stock loss and deducted from your bonus. a 5%surplus is impossible to achieve unless you cheat the customers have no spillage never pour a mistake and set the pumps to pour so slowly that customers will get fed up with waiting they will walk out.  well that might be just what he wants to do to get rid of the few customers he has left or any decent managers that have stayed loyal to him through thick and thin he realy does not know what he has got and wont untill its gone

The carrot that dangled to improve your bank balance has now been withdrawn. I refer to bonuses which, as Doccer says are a thing of the past.

5% surplus is an impossible task to reach, and I would like to know where Mr. Humpty gets these figures or ideas from.
No TV, no entertainment, no backing music, no cars overnight in the car parks, no free table for a pool match, no poker matches as he doesn't want to encourage gambling unless of course you are putting your money in his fruit machines!
Is his blood brother Mr Effing O'Brien assisting him in this doom and gloom attitude?

Life was good with Sams some years ago, but nearly 20 years on and you dread what other idiotic instruction has come from Taddy Towers in the Saturday morning mail.

Regarding Bonds. Long term employees paid accordingly to their contract ?500 bond when starting with the company, yet Humpty increases this to ?1000 with no advance notice or permission, breaking his contract with his employee.

Lets face it, we are dealing with a man (I use that term loosely) who has no respect whatsoever for his customers, employees, for working time regulation, for contracts of employment or for employment law.

Roll on retirement when my wife and I can return to sanity.

it looks to me to be F.O.B. leading humpty into distruction i heard he used to be married to one of the smith family but got devorced and ever since he has tried to ruin the business but humpty thinks the sun shines out of his backside maybe he has a hold over the family maybe he knows something they dont want making public

Whatever their family problems, it's just a pity that it's making thousands of others miserable - staff, managers, and customers. Mr S doesn't deserve what he's got. I hear he's a man with some religious faith - I think it's about time he picked up and read the 'good book' - paying special attention to compassion.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
 - Bible, 1 Corinthians x. 12.

The laborer is worthy of his reward.
- Bible, 1 Timothy v. 18.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Bible, Acts xx. 35
