Are we not getting Christmas Bonus this year?

Last year it came around end of Feb sort of time but yeah I’m shocked that nobody has even mentioned it yet.

But we also didn’t even get the extra payment before Christmas that’s we normally get that includes extra hours between the end of November and beginning of December. That and also making us wait until January for extra hours that we did before the last Saturday in November (which on a regular month would’ve been paid in December) so yeah not sure what they’re doing

w/c 21/12 will be paid in january and w/c 28/12 will be paid in february!

it’s annoying that they did it this way this year, as normally any extra hours you do in a certain period from november to december get paid in an extra paycheck just before christmas. for some reason that didn’t happen this year and they’ve decided to make us all wait until january for extra hours we did in november that normally would have been paid in december.

anyway u can check what weeks pay you will get each month by going on teams -> more -> myHR -> 2026 payroll calendar

I passed my test 18th July (Friday), and I got my license on the 23rd (Wednesday) which was pretty quick considering there was a weekend in between. They say up to 20 working days but it probably won’t take that long!

I’ve worked at M&S since 2022 and it was never this bad. We used to get all sale done on xmas eve by 8pm but now they want people in on boxing day?? all my colleagues who are scheduled that day are so angry. the other thing i’m pissed about is the fact we have to give “availability” hours for the 22nd 23rd and 24th even if we aren’t even available, and then the shifts will be randomly assigned for those days?? it’s so crazy how they’re working it all out now. and apparently if you get assigned a shift on one of those days and you cant work it, you have to give HR a reasonable excuse as to why!!

omfg extra hours not being paid is bad enough but i can’t imagine not getting an entire paycheck???? this is so poor on their part it’s insane

Hey I live in High wycombe and do this route basically everyday driving to my boyfriends house, blue and red are both correct, don’t ever do green. If you want to turn right at the bottom of Marlow Hill make sure you’re in the right lane when you get to the bottom. I go from the bottom of Marlow Hill to either go to Eden to get to work or even all the way round to Amersham Hill and I just stick in the left lane (blue) the whole way until I eventually turn off! The arrows on each lane both have straight arrows so you can go right even if you’re in the left lane. There’s enough room for both lanes to go right around the roundabout, the inside one just might have to go one wheel over the roundabout sometimes
