Im p*ssed...
Maybe I shouldnt be.... on the one hand I'm fortunate to have a job ... on the other hand, I have a right to be p*ssed.... Im a graphics designer.... the senior designer and the only graphic artist for a particular National magazine.... I am solely responsible for the visual image of a weekly full color magazine along with a variety of other crap.... I've done this for the same company for over 20+ years.... In the last 6 weeks, I've designed and produced well over 300 pages, pushing 350 pages of full page full color advertising at approx. $1,200 per page... you do the math not far off a 1/2 million! I do this at less than national average of designer's income levels.... so when it comes to Christmas bonus time, you would expect a right decent bonus.... not only did I lose $2500 of retirement money from a 50% reduction in retirement plan, but my bonus was .001 of the amount I earned the company.... and they wonder why people pick up an assault rifle and walk into a business .... i would never do that cause I have better things to do.... but I can see why it happens.... sh*t on again ![]() thank you.... taht is all now i have work to do ffs |

Really sorry to hear about the Christmas bonus Mark I know allot of people depend on them, especially at Christmas. Here we be lucky if we even get a tenner in our pay packets at Christmas! Come to think about it, i got nothing! lol
Reminds me Of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation when he finds out he didnt get his Christmas bonus and Eddie went out and kidnapped the boss. Not trying to give idea Mark but its just a thought! lol

the company I used to work for...ermm.. before they laid me off....gave all the employees a 20$ grocery coupon to buy a turkey for xmas...I think it was a not-so subliminal message...as in "you stupid bunch of turkeys, thanks for lining our pockets"......doh!!!!

why don't you have a little look around at other jobs? especially if you're only paid below national average for designers, there must be loads of publications that would kill for your kind of experience. might even end up that the magazine you're with now realises they need you so much that they offer you a wage increase to make you stay, who knows!

I think that kind of thing comes with the job package mark, yes feel fortunate to have that job, aside from the BS and hard work it's actually something to brag about, go to a bar say what you do for a living and pick up a group of college co-eds.
