so the E-Mail says...

So after 5 years you get $5k every year?

That's a good chunk of change for someone I bet!

Surely that couldnt mean 5k per year after 5 yrs.... Oh but if it did that would be some sweet pocket change

its alot easier to go damage free in you run a 1 way area. some of us run 7 way and its alot easier to get a damage. how would you fix this?

Don't get your hopes up - after about 6 people receive the $5 grand some VP will start crying that a locator is making too much $$$ and there goes the BONE-US program. This has happened at least 3 times since I have been here. Thes BONE-US programs are always changing - this way they get to claim they have a program without actually paying out much of anything. Remember my motto "Make your own bonus"

Hmm that is funny Trent I heard that the sups and managers recieved bonuses each week for Katrina. I was working in La at the time of this storm and my manager/supervisor told me this. I have some buddies still @UQ and they did not complain how they were treated after the storm. Actually they thought the OT was awesome money. However they did say some shady shit was going on at that time in local managment. Just hear say but kinda seems true. Anyway that is way in the past an I have moved on to bigger and better, however I would like you to explain that bonus program you all have there. Thanks

LOL, no they/we didn't. we did get a $600.00 dollar bonus...Yea the overtime was great if you were an hourly employee.my brother was working in Cali at the time for U.T.I..he returned back to BR for a while to help and stand on Cali-labor law....it was sick..That states labor laws for an hourly Person is AWESOME..he was on double-time every time I returned around....my boss at the time was good to me during the storm, I don't have any complaints...just some of the stuff in the background would piss u off, but that's anywhere... Are u from Texas?, we had so many people in from New Jersey to Cali...so many people down here it was crazy. Shady shit?

It is 5k per year after 5 but it will be very hard for anyone to reach that in our area. It is a great feat to go 1 year damage free in 4 way congested area. I did go 3 and a half years damage free once but it is not very often anyone goes over a year around here.
