If you were smart... and if the rest of the 'Yeah have the car' people on this thread just stopped to think for a minute... you'd realise that by taking the car you would be in effect taking a PAY CUT...

Because you would get spanked for Company Car Tax as you are doing no business miles a year and the car is of a high value... Which means you would feel the full weight of the tax man as he splayed your arse cheeks and knocked it into next week.


SO....

Here's what you do...

You say because this chap is leaving and you are obviously going to have to take extra work etc, which isnt a problem as you like the job, which is why you came back. (put a positive spin on you leaving before)

SO... what you would like to propose is a small pay rise, say £3000 pa to cover the extra work, they will be saving on this other blokes salary in the time it take to recruit the blokes replacement so they should be able to afford it. its not going to cost them anything is it.

You then say so that both parties are protected you propose a Loyalty Bonus of say £5,000 which is paid to you after 6 months.

If you leave in that time, you dont get it, if they finish you in the time they pay it.


That way... just around June, when the show season is in full swing you get a nice little bonus to spend on your car


If they arent too keen just point out the hassle and cost of recruiting replacements and the potential loss to the company should you were to get a better offer in the next month or so.


You boss will know you are exploiting the situation slightly... but at least you are lubing up to shag his arse....


Be under no illusion if things were different they would finish you tomorrow....
