Met Office bosses are braced for floods of complaints after paying staff £25million in bonuses over the past five years.
And one gripe is set to be why workers should be rewarded with taxpayers’ cash when forecasts are wrong.
This year alone staff each got a £2,726 windfall with just 23 of the 2,127 workers missing out. And £130,000-per-year boss Penny Endersby was paid a bonus of between £5,000 and £10,000 last year, accounts reveal.
