I’m sorry, Aero, are you seriously trying to tell us demand is DOWN?

I’m sorry, you can not lie like this. This is terrible. I have no choice now but to believe you have cancelled Christmas bonuses and gave out Starbucks gift cards instead.

Aero, stop lying. Anyone can go on your fucking website and see half the shit perpetually OOS. FFS aero.

Aero, do you think we’re democrats? You can’t just tell blatant bold faced lies and expect us to believe the opposite of what our eyes see. Ffs.

In this thread it becomes very obvious those of you have never signed the front of a paycheck.

We just had a fucking debate at work about who gets a Christmas/end of year bonus.

New mgmt were all like, "What is the metric? What is their MBO? Where I used to work, we had a scale they were measured on ..."

Me and a few others were like, "Thats really cute, but, none of that was in the contract and none of this matters at this point as we can't afford to lose the people we got. Have a fucking heart Mr and Mrs Scrooge."

Some folks hav ZERO people skills when it comes to mgmt. They are robots and they are dead inside.

If you want to base it on a metric, do that the following year and set a guideline that they know what to expect.
Doing that at this point and springing it on them last second is pretty shitty.

I told the other managers to FOAD if they wanted to do that and leave my folks alone.
Take your shitty gubmint attitude and shove it where the sun don't shine.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I never required (or asked) any one who ever worked for me to be my drinking buddy or my best friend... it always happened naturally and we all knew where the line was drawn because the rules were laid out in advance.

It's really not that difficult to "manage", but being a leader requires a whole different set of skills. Not all managers are leaders, not all leaders "manage". Great managers are great leaders.

So a Christmas bonus is just that, a sense of good will and appreciation. Quarterly or annual bonuses often contain a metric based on a goal.

Those are two VERY different things.

your bonus is you keep your job

Place I work at, before they were bought out by a corp, payroll mistakes were more due to incompetence with the 2 morons in our payroll dept. Then they started farming it out to some paroll company who on their own clusterfucks made our 2 now former payroll nitwits look like geniuses. The new company uses a place that WE have to use OUR phones to clock in and out along with other stuff. The new payroll company we uses app is a complete joke. Constantly crashes, requires updates damn near bi-weekly, tries to tell you when you punch in that you are not on the property when you are INSIDE THE BUILDING and my fav one, requires random password changes without any form of warning and usually does it BEFORE you go to punch in. Makes matters worse,you cant do a password update from your phone's app. You have to log in to their website from a browser then do it and spend up to 10 min doing that from their crappy website.

Aero employee claims Christmas bonuses were canceled and replaced with a $5 Starbucks gift card and (obviously) misprinted ornament:  Reddit Link

Updated with Aero’s response:

“Just to comment and create some clarity here. We had a company catered lunch where the ornaments and gift cards were handed out. They weren’t meant to replace anything. They were just what you received if you attended the lunch. Bonuses are not a promised or contractually written agreement here at Aero Precision. They weren’t “canceled”. We try to do this every year, but they are not guaranteed and that has always been the case.

This year has been a challenging year to say the least. Costs are up over 20% (in some areas, over 70%) and demand is down 30%+. We recently moved our entire company to a new facility which was very expensive as well. There are efforts across the company to reduce costs and keep things sustainable, as there is little to no indication that the demand and economy in general are going to change any time soon.

Our priority is to keep our current employees employed with a regular paycheck they can count on. That’s what we are and will continue to be focused on. Keep in mind, this is also being written by someone who is an employee at Aero going through these same things. The company is doing its best to keep everyone happy and employed.”
