(Kaieteur News) – This Christmas, dem boys noticing something funny—funnier than a man who only sweep he yard when he hear the masquerade band coming down the street. Is bare big business people praying fuh government pay out one big Christmas cash grant. Not because dem love see poor people happy, oh no! But because dem hoping de government bonus does cover up fuh the one THEY supposed to give.
Dem boys seh some of these business people mek millions upon millions—real, real money!—off the sweat of dem workers who hustling whole year like reindeer pulling a overloaded sleigh. But when Christmas come, dem same bosses acting like a man who suddenly gone deaf, dumb and blind when he hear the word “bonus.” Is like bonus does give dem allergy: eyes start water, throat start scratch, and wallet slam shut tight-tight.
But leh we talk plain. If government give bonus, is taxpayers’ money—your money. Meanwhile, the bosses who getting rich off your back want clap and grin, saying, “Look how nice government is!” But dem boys seh, tell dem business people don’t mix up generosity with responsibility. Is not government wuk you doing whole year; is de boss man shop, office, hotel, factory, store, or big fancy building with AC colder than Greenland.
So dem boys want tell workers this: go and demand your pound of flesh this Christmas! Tell de boss man straight: “Y’all got to come good! Not come maybe, not come kinda-sorta—COME GOOD!” Because all year yuh watching dem deposit big profits, drive new vehicle, build extension pon de house, and suddenly December reach and dem acting like Scrooge with a calculator.
It remind dem boys of de story of a worker who went to he boss, “Boss, I been good all year. I come early, I work hard, I don’t thief not even a pen. So wah bout me Christmas bonus?”
Boss look him dead in the eye and seh, “Son, the real bonus is that you still got a job.”
Worker answer back, “Boss, if that is the bonus, then starting January, the REAL bonus is you gon need a new worker!”
Dem boys seh: Boss man, pay de people!
