Woooo. They just came in.

I got two, 40hr check, along with a vaction check (never took my vaction) and a retail bonus check. Grand total of $1112.

Merry Xmas to me!

 

[Kenobi]

Bonus? Ha, a bonus for me right now would be to be paid on time. As of next week, I'm gonna be 4 checks behind.


me = pwned.

=(

 

[Orin GA]

wtf, i thought i was in the offtopic forum. please move

 

[bitwise]

not a red cent

 

[Nerevar]

my company hit 100% bonuses for the first time in 3 years.

Unfortunately, I haven't been working here long enough to be eligible!!!
That's $5000 I don't get this Christmas!

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I did very, very well. But I'm in an industry that does big bonuses.

 

[RedDwarf]

For the second year I've been there it's the same, absolutely nothing.

 

[shibbs]

About 70 euro.

:|

 

[dem]

I got like 2500... which was nice cause I wasnt really expecting anything.

 

[Kave_Man]

I was quite surprised to see I had a christmas bonus. I have only been working there for exactly 4 months yesterday.

 

[jobbidiar]

pretty good for once i've got to say..........well i'm happy to get some sort of cash bonus!

 

[LakeEarth]

The best $25 gift certificate to Red Lobster EVER!

 

[keiichi]

bo -nus ?

never heard of it

 

[Team Rancid]

I got a Mini Ipod.

Rather have cash, so I'll be selling it.

 

[Prospero]

Not only did I not get a Christmas bonus, but all employees of my company have to start working 8-hour instead of 7.5-hour days in January. I'm salaried, so there's no corresponding pay raise.

 

[djtiesto]

Didn't get mine yet, it's still processing Probably gonna be about $1000 or so... but hey, I have off till after New Years, so that's good!

 

[heavy liquid]

For the second year I've been there it's the same, absolutely nothing.

Same here. Bastards.

It's funny how the boss just bought himself a new Porsche SUV, though...

 

[SKluck]

No xmas bonus. Got an inventory bonus a month ago though, $130.

 

[Bog]

A couple grand, but for some reason we don't get it until February. Great timing for the holidays.

 

[Gorey]

Pretty solid, thanks. Just in time to pay this month's untilities and cover xmas shopping, woo.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I don't get mine until Jan, but since it's 30% of my salary, I can wait.

 

[Santo]

I wish I got a bonus unemployeement check for the holidays, that would rock!

 

[Shazapp]

My bonus for working 50-60 hour weeks every week since June? A $35.00 gift card to Borders.

Thanks, guys.

Thankfully, I'm quitting in January. Take that, fuckers.

 

[onion_pixy]

I get no bonus

tho I get paid hourly (and pretty well at that )

I did get a iPod mini, a jacket, a poker set, a gift basket, and a $35 dolllar gift certifiacte to Best Buy from my various clients tho

 

[evil ways]

I got nearly the same amount I get paid for my salary, which just means I got 3 paychecks this month.

Not bad though.

 

[Dilbert]

No Christmas bonus, and we aren't allowed to accept gifts over $20 from anyone outside the company. Not, of course, that people were lining up to give me stuff in the first place.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

what is that? i got nothing this year 'cause i went form job to job, town to town and woman to woman......... or so i wish.

 

[Docpan]

Nothing. I have to work all Xmas day, too.

 

[SickBoy]

I got the "token" $50 and some company-branded stuff, having started less than three months ago... I'm not complaining though -- $50 I didn't have before...

Apparently I should expect more after I've worked a full year. I have every reason to believe it will be more than $100, but even if that's all it is, that's great.

 

[Tarazet]

A mug with two candy canes, two packets of hot chocolate mix, and a card.

It made me smile, until I read this thread.

 

[goodcow]

I did very, very well. But I'm in an industry that does big bonuses.

Porno industry?

 

[psycho_snake]

I got a shitload of French homework

 

[Hooker]

No bonus, not under a full contract, so no bonus :/



We did get our Christmas gifts though, we could choose from a couple of things, I got the electric BBQ. Looked pretty good, made me hungry as hell when looking at the pictures online :S

 

[LukeSmith]

Got a modest gift certificate to a clothing lab. It's fine, I work in publishing, I didn't expect anything, frankly. Nice to see some GAFers rolling the awesome bonuses though.

 

[Bog]

I don't get mine until Jan, but since it's 30% of my salary, I can wait.

That's kind of ridiculous. I think mine worked out to like 2.5%.

 

[BojTrek]

$25 on a website where you could choose a tons of different items... I just took $25 for Blockbuster and will buy a movie... plus my manager gave me $10 there... so I will have $35 to spend.

The wife is getting $4500 from a lawyers firm... SWEET! She will pay off her credit cards with that... NICE!

 

[DCharlie]

Bonus was fantastic this year.

close to $30,000

 

[lachesis]

I don't have bonus system at my work...
- but thanks to 20% raise that I've got put me into good financial situation, even after buying a house.
Six figure, 2 years in a row. Good sign. (worked hella hours, though)
Perhaps I should Thank GWB for making a war last year, and making such a polarized election this year? Nah...

Happy holidays to you all!

Ok, now I know what you're doing IRL : You're a prostitute. A male prostitute.

 

[aparisi2274]

I got $200 from a Sales Rep of mine

I got $50 American Gift Check from another Sales Rep

I got $75 check from my Company.


WHOOOHOOO

lachesis

Dude, what kinda job do you have?! 6 figure income for 2 years in a row :| (and possibly a lot more to come)

 

[Chittagong]

Well we don't have a Christmas bonus system (they come at other times of the year, if we're lucky), but I got all sorts of really cool, high quality free crap from partners:

- Zack salad tools
- Karhu Originals bag, cool as hell (www.karhuoriginals.com)
- Design book from one of my favorite agencies ever
- Fortnum & Mason and Fazer chockolate

+ 3 unopened packages, one feels like a DVD and other like a beanie

and of course I got PSP and six games this week too.

 

[XS+]

Woooo. They just came in.

I got two, 40hr check, along with a vaction check (never took my vaction) and a retail bonus check. Grand total of $1112.

Merry Xmas to me!

Glad you received a bonus. Being a consultant, I won't receive one. Still, if I received 4 checks totaling $1112, I'd find a new job. No offense.

 

[XS+]

I don't get mine until Jan, but since it's 30% of my salary, I can wait.

What? How does that work?

 

[Lonestar]

I got a candy cane. No shit. Given to me by the president of the company (salary=300K+). He was dressed as Santa Claus. With a Clownhat on instead of the regular hat.

Next year, I'm just gonna go work as DCharlie's lapdog. His bonus = my year's salary. With OT.

Fucking clownshoes, man.

 

[3phemeral]

I got the 24th and 31st of December off. Go me.

 

[norinrad21]

11 euro..... I guess i can't complain, its still better than nothing and its a parttime job anyway.


fucking need to pay my rent asap though or else i'm doomed

 

[Myllz]

$200. I've only been there 9 months or so, so it's not too bad.

 

[pestul]

A check for a whopping $25 (worked with them for 5 1/2yrs now).. But I do have Dec 21st - Jan 3rd off without pay! (I will get the stat holidays though, so I guess you could call that a bonus). :/

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

I haven't seen a bonus since Bush has been in office and I WORK for a military contrator.
