so, what (if anything) did any of you guys get as a bonus from your employer this year? some of my friends get pretty nice bonuses, some get Schrooged. An ex-gf once got $5K for Christmas bonus (then 4 people quit w/in a month so that never happened again.)
Myself, my firm kinda Scrooged me - $50 gift card and this stupid "sonic keychain" if you loose your keys you are supposed to whistle and the keychain beeps and flashes. so I am sitting in my cube whistling like a dumbass for about 30 - 40 seconds...got it to work once, it hasnt worked since. still, the $50 will help with the gas costs to drive to Ohio this wk end.

My company are a bunch of cheap fucks, they are raffling a $50 gift card out between 4 fucking people. I find this to be an insult, they should have saved their fucking money and just got us nothing. The idea that only 1 person gets something is insulting.

I don't get a christmas bonus per say...
HOWEVER
For Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years-even those these are my normal days off and I don't have to work them-I still get 8 hours holiday pay... which makes the last 8 hours of my regular shifts on those weeks OT.
so that comes to about an extra $864... then in Jan I get a bonus that 5% of my yearly income, so that'll be $1875
so $2739 in extra moolah.
plus i'll get some type of raise in Jan... not sure how much though.
oh LOL for my part-time gig I got $25.

all i got is: 1. to be run off my feet for this week, and 2. to have to change shifts to suit the company i work for.

No christmas bonus here... in fact I don't know anyone who gets a christmas bonus. I've heard them talked about in movies and books... Maybe it's an American thing?
I remember Clark Griswold thought he would get enough to install a pool but instead he got a membership to the dessert of the month club.
My boss is probably going to give me a few paid days off, but only because he's generous in that way, and I'm his only full time employee.
