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.

When I was helping design and build instruments down in FL for a company, the second year I was there the owner game me a $10,000 bonus b/c the designs turned out so well. The next year he fired me. I became a liability being younger and having the knowledge of the shady shit he was doing in China to get our instruments cheap as fuck.
I was young and stupid about it, my name was no where near the designs and I did nothing to cover my ass.
Oh well the 10g's was nice while it lasted.

Hi thecornking,
My boss invited us all to test the dessert of the month club from here:

I must confess: I'm not the kind of guy who likes desserts, but this one was great!

After not getting my bonus, I wrote my boss a real nice letter explaining that I need to earn more money and be able to pick up more night shifts. Yesterday we talked, and today I'm getting my bonus. Woot!
