PDS

Next week on The BACK LOUNGE, our subject is ‘PDs’, that mysterious bonus payment with the amount varying widely across jobs, and whatever you get, no one wants to pay tax on. How much do you get? What is everyone else getting more? Why are they subject to their own nonsensical quirks, normally dictated by someone who has never toured and never in anyone’s favour? Ideas for how to make £20/20$ stretch across 3 meals and a day off in Oslo/ Tokyo/ NYC welcomed. Email info@thebacklounge.org to register for the zoom chat. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting ????
