chessticles92 on February 18, 2026 8:25 pm Yes, top work John Lewis. Well done those shop floor workers.
tylerthe-theatre on February 18, 2026 8:32 pm Damn gotta get a job there again, if they ever hired that is
leahcar83 on February 18, 2026 8:47 pm It just goes to show that successful businesses not rewarding their employees are choosing to do that for no reason other than greed.

Has the bonus returned? Last I heard it was scrapped
Happy for them whilst crying in NHS. Life is full of duality.
