This message received by the company’s workers confirmed the financial results for the first 9 months of 2022, unsurprisingly very good, since it represents an increase of 79.3%!
And it was not the only message received since in addition to these results, the sum of 1,500 euros gross was promised “in thanks for the decisive contribution of each one this year. »
The 10,000 workers concerned (from the service division grouped under the new “Equans” logo) were all happy to personally receive this good news. But there was a hiccup. On October 4, 2022, Engie formalized the sale of its service division to Bouygues.
No more premium for these 10,000 workers! A real blow.
“Following an error in the distribution lists on the Engie side, the message you received last Thursday concerning a unique bonus… This bonus is only applicable to entities that are now part of the Engie Group and does not apply therefore not to Equans employees… Engie apologizes for this error and the confusion caused by this communication. The management of Equans can only deplore this situation: We are in contact with Engie so that this situation does not happen again in the future…”
A total misunderstanding on the part of the workers who nevertheless participated in the very good results of the first 9 months of 2022. Especially since Bouygues bought Equans for… 6 billion euros.
The unions reacted immediately in both the north and the south of the country.
