Dave Jones Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) I was invited to a works awards night for long service but I had to pay for my partner for her to attend. The company I work for earn millions per year in the UK alone. Even the Christmas party this year I have to pay for myself if I wanted to go, incidentally at the same place as the Dinner and dance was. Sounds as though they must have been using the Mick Horton manual on " How to show employees how much their efforts are valued".

Woz01 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Sounds as though they must have been using the Mick Horton manual on " How to show employees how much they are valued".To be honest I've never had an employer who pays fully for Christmas night out. My missus ex employer didn't even let partners attend! Anyway. AGM starts tomorrow. Hopefully in a few days we can actually talk speedway/signings etc. Edited October 31, 2016 by woz01 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 It's a sad way to end Bombers service to Coventry. What ever gripe he had, swallow some pride and be professional. The fans who attended are the ones who missed out. Meanwhile what happened with the storm awards, was there any? Nothing said on the website?

Gemini Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Be interested to see if Horton allows him to use a workshop at the stadium next season! Somehow I doubt it!! I thought that had already been cleared out before the Stock Car World Final as they needed the space? Apologies if I'm thinking of the wrong area. Anyway, he's left now so will no doubt have to find somewhere else. Perhaps Neil Middleditch has a garage he can use. Don't think I agree with this criticism of Harris, if I had left a company the last thing you want to do us socialise with them, especially when us fans do not know the real reason he feels he has to leave, he has been a top servant for the Bees, and I agree with him that it would have been the right thing to do for Coventry Speedway to invite him and his Partner, if only as a thank you! Poor form Coventry. Sorry but I don't agree. The dinner/dance is mainly for the fans so whatever grievances he had with the Coventry promotion should have been put aside for that one evening. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueboy Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The fact that most employers have a staff function and partners are included doesn't mean that there is no benefit to you as an employee. Most companies settle via a PAYE Settlement Agreement so it is not reported via a P11d and charged to you via your tax code. Harris is not an employee, so why shouldn't he fork out. No doubt he'd claim as a deduction on his tax return... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfromcov Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 During my working life I attended many functions and conventions both with and on behalf of my employers. My wife was always included , and never once was I asked to pay for her to attend. But then again I've never worked for Mick Horton. so have i and in 30 years in work my partner/wife has never been paid for, guess its sign of the times!

Dave Jones Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 so have i and in 30 years in work my partner/wife has never been paid for, guess its sign of the times! More likely that it's a sign of the quality of the employer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crux of the matter here is simple for the supporters , pick a camp .. A. I like Bomber so he's correct in his actions .. OR B. I like Horton so I will side with him . .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
