I just cashed mine on Monday, a surprising $10,000 on the nose.

I get a grocery gift certificate at christmas...haven't got one yet this year.
We get bonuses at fiscal year end....usually about two weeks' salary for people the bosses don't like (me)....significantly more for those they do (everyone else).
Yeah, I've gotten a nice little bonus the last two years. Before that for 7 years nothing. The funny thing is that I have had had the same owner of the company at both jobs. He sold his business 2 years ago for a ton of money and started a new company and took me with him.
We've always (16 Christmas's now) managed to give our employees a Christmas bonus even in the toughest times. Its less than the big ones of the 90's but every little bit helps to make it brighter. This year we will do the same
I got a $10,000 bonus two years ago (before taxes), the company did so well by the mid-4th quarter.
This year, there were no bonuses, they cut the Christmas party and two people were laid off. Talk about extremes, and the reality of the recession.
As a small business owner I don't get one, but I do give what I can afford. Bonuses range from $250 to $50, depending on how much my associate instructors worked and how helpful they were to the success of the business. Sure I could use a little extra myself, but ya gotta thank others and spread it around when you can afford to.

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
I got $1000 bonus this year. Its the first time in 20 years of working that I got one so I was very surprised and happy about it. They had layed people off and cut spending mid year in response to the GFC but our governments stimulus package sent us into to overdrive with work and we were rewarded for getting it done with a reduced workforce.
well....shock :shock: ...i came in to work today to find a card on my desk from our senior partner, with $100 in it. a first! seems i am destined to never get more than $100 at christmas :P, but given i've not gotten anything the other 2 christmases here, still a happy surprise. perhaps b/c we didn't get any raises this year? idk. but none the less....nice!

That is very cool of you.

Congrats!!!!
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
How do you think half the forum travels to all the shows? Besides selling plasma and being trust fund babies that is.
My bonus and annual raise comes in February.
So maybe it is. Maybe it's like Pearl Jam's "Christmas single" and it's just horribly late!
I'm not sure what to expect this year... *fingers crossed*.
