    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....

    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.



    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.

    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!*

    Damn right!

    I'm actually on a bowling league and we played on the night of my party.
    Beer + Bowling + Friends
    vs
    Lame party + Coworkers

    Wasn't too hard of a decision! :D

    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.

    Yeah, that's how ours are. Sitting around a stuffy country club with a bunch of doctors who talk nothing but work, eating chicken that I could have made better at home, and watching people dance to music some lame-ass DJ is playing. Open bar, but because it's a Sunday night and have to work the next day...I can only have a couple, and not nearly enough to make that lame party fun. :p
    Oh well.
    I've always wanted the drunken, crazy office party...now THAT would be fun!

    it seriously depends on the party!
    that is *one* thing for certain...this firm knows how to throw fantastic parties! always in brliiant/swank restaurants/bars......no matter the celebration....and plenty of food/drink...oftentimes a partner throws down a credit card to extend the festivities b/c everyone is having such a good time! :D i love this perk amongst many here.....good times!

    No idea on a bonus...I've been working my tail off to get one and rumor has it we may or may not....of course, the firm had the usual Holiday party with drunken partners and nervous associates...skip that debacle and give us all a few bucks. :)

    i just got my first christmas bonus as a store manager...double what i've been receiving the past 3 years :) i love being in charge!

    i always forget that we're getting bonuses...until i start freaking out over how to pay for presents for everyone on top of everything else...it's like a happy suprise!!
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    I got a ham. We do get annual bonuses in June that are pretty nice. I skipped out on the x-mas party too. I decided I would rather spend my Saturday night with my friends than with my coworkers that I spend the whole
    week with.

    Our "bonus" from our company was...a mug. And I found out today that we were the only office to get one. Our company has 5 other offices throughout the states. I figure they were marketing leftovers. But I did get a fifty dollar bill from one of our account executives for helping her out a lot during the year.
