anyone get x-mas bonus where they work?
i happened to come across an email from my boss to his book keeer and i think im getting a 40 hr week bonus. plus a dollar raise. i know the raise is forsure but not positive bout the bonus.
Just, not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I dont want it.
I just need it.

    We don't get a "Christmas Bonus" per say but we get quarterly bonuses through out the year

    We get them 9 weeks after a quarter ends, so the last one I got for quarter 3 came in around mid-November

    Just like a Christmas Bonus really

    I'm really hoping for a bonus.. Most families give their nannies bonuses, but I do know I am getting gifts for sure.

    a bonus would be stellar though, who doesn't need cash around the holidays!

    No bonus for me, but I get like a $50 store credit if I complete my entire holiday employment assignment without missing a day.

    I guess holiday employees are not typically the most reliable. Anyway, I think that's kind of nice. :)

    That is nice! When I was a manager in retail over the holidays all of my front end staff would call out, and leave me totally in a bind. It was the worst! Props to them for giving out a reward!

    I have doube salary in December. The 2nd salary is more taxed so it's a bit less than the usual one. But in December, my salary is about 180% of my salary of the other months of the year.

    Of course you may end up getting fired for reading Emails intended for other employees.

    My first full year with the firm, and I received a 23.5% bonus, quite happy and unexpected, especially in a down market. Now looking to use that as a down payment on my first house.

    I work for a small company but i got 300 bucks.

    I know others who get a lot more but i'm just happy with what i got. It helped buy xmas gifts this year because cash was tight. If it wasn't for that i'd be throwing it on the old credit card.

    No bonus for me. Maybe we'll get a gift card or something. Maybe.

    My husband has always gotten a bonus. At least $500. No go this year. They can't even make payroll. Not even making payroll Friday - the Friday before Christmas. How bad is that???? We're both super mad. And the worst part is??? They bitch about it.

    nope... maybe a bottle of wine or something like that (that they get free from sponsors anyway).

    My company pays decent, but other than that they are so cheap that they charge for our holiday party.

    Get 5% of our gross pay for Christmas and in April we get the BIG bonus that is rated on your performance which can sometimes equal half your total salary for the year (plus the promotion and raise as well in April too)....April is my Christams bonus....

    NICE! :)


    when i used to teach, we got a christmas 'bonus' of oooooooo....about $100. :rolleyes: teaching in a private school does not pay well, hahaha. now, i know it's a gift and all, but yea.....not a whole lot. our christmas parties were beyond sad as well, no alcohol.


    this year as i now work fr a big firm i am hoping for something nice. :D i know associates and such get serious bonuses depending on the business for the year. since i am support/parallel staff, dunno hw it all works...but it sounds like we do get 'something'....so looking forward to whatever *it* may be. i DO know our christmas party is a huge bash and pricey, but ALL our parties are, and always a blast.....and ONLY staff, no significant others......so good times!
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    we get bonuses (if they are deserved) but they are related to christmas. I think we get them in march.
  • CorduroyboyCorduroyboy Posts: 1,256
    My bonus was getting put on part time until more work comes my way! So great right before the Holidays. Bastards!!
  • mca47mca47 Posts: 13,280
    Yeah, I do. Not sure how much it will be though.

    Hoping for at least $1000!

    Pay off my flight back to Chicago, buy some Christmas gifts, and maybe pay off a little bit of debt...well, maybe a couple of videogames instead. :D That debt will go away come tax season *fingers crossed for a big return!*

    The sit down, eat your chicken and listen to Johnny Mathis Christmas parties are lame, I'll give you that. The open bar, sex laden debachery parties my old company used to have. Those kicked ass.

    And I love bowling. I'm terrible at it, but I'm great at drinking beer and rocketing that ball down the lane.
