Disgrace???

[Blue2112]

"In addition to financial compensation, staff would also have the opportunity to purchase season tickets at a discounted rate"

This line seems to suggest they are being financially compensated though?

If they are being compensated to the same value as half a season ticket price then I don't see a problem.

see this quote from the employee “We always got two free season tickets which we all classed as part of our salaries."

To me that was just a perk which was now taken off, nothing that was part of their contracts. Absolutely nothing an employee can complain about.

I personally think this employee should've kept his mouth shut. anyway I've never understood why the employees got two ST's. I back the club all the way on this one

Somebody who knows the employee's rights will know better than me but if a 'perk' has been given every year for 'X' amount of years does this not then have some (searching for the correct word/phrasing) kind of commitment/binding agreement or whatever?

Don't get me wrong I'm not defending anyone moaning about this but if I and I'm sure everyone else on here had been given a 'perk/additional benefit' and then had it taken away we'd still complain as it's what people do especially where work/entitlements/benefits/perks are concerned.

Nobody should be getting in that ground for free.

Someone gets something for nowt and has the cheek to complain when it stops. No surprise the MUEN is first in the queue with a negative story.

They are our local paper. Who else would run with it first?

They didn't have to run with it at all. It's hardly news, just an excuse to have a pop at us.

Second one in a week about tickets

Maybe one of our employees contacted the paper.

100 % rags leaking this. they take a wage off city then whether it be tickets, flare ups or any other incident to make trouble they will grass. they will also be selling these free tickets on and pocketing 500 brick of our money.

Two tickets at half price? That's still the equivalent of one free ticket. Don't bite the hand that feeds you!

I agree with this............2 tickets @Half price- means 1 is free.
Ungrateful ****.

As i said early a nice little tax free bonus

I think its a bit cheap to pay Tevez £250k a week and bulk at giving staff what is effectively a £1k benefit in kind. Sometimes to get the best out of staff little gestures go a long way. City have always been penny wise. They pay staff pretty poorly anyway because of the kudos of working at the club. Show some class City!

Christ my wife works at ASDA is on just above the minimum wage does she get £1.4k of groceries free every year does she fook.

Well done City get shut of any trouble makers there are loads of fish out there in "the real world" that are aching for a job.

Some of these members of staff perhaps need 12 months on the dole to realise that perhaps life isn't so bad afterall!

I'm guessing you're not the Union rep at the stables then Ed ?

Ah sadly not lol no union membership allowed I believe...

I think you're bang on there Bill and if City have any evidence of people selling their free tickets they should fuck them off.

well done city

giving these free tickets is probably one of the reasons there are always empty seats - reward them with their salaries, not with season tickets that could go to proper fans who pay for them
