Have you gotten a X-mas bonus or gift this year ? - Page 3

ROYC75 · 12-15-2004, 03:54 PM

I know some won't get anything, for those of you, I understand, been there.

I just got a Seafood Feast basket shipped to my door from the company I work with. Shrimp, lobster,chowder,steaks,and cheescake.

Damn, now I'm hungry !

I got a one thousand three hundred dollar check from the CEO of the hospital this past week. Of course that pales in comparison to the tens of thousands of dollars I saved them in drug expense for the pharmacy over the past year.

All in all, I'm still happy with the deal.

I got a bonus, nothing to brag about. And we have a christmas dinner.

StcChief · 12-15-2004, 05:24 PM

Holiday party,dinner, dancing,open bar, Free room at Sheraton late checkout.

I got toasty on Martinis.

Bonus is I'm still employed.

I should get about a 14% bonus next week. In addition our company is being sold and I will be bought out of all my PTO so I should get an additional 6 weeks of pay around the 1st of the year. Should be a good Christmas in the 2bike household. ( I spent all day looking at new bikes today)

Jackpot!

We had our best year ever, we have all been busting our @sses to ship as many units as possible by the end of the year, we have surpassed every goal....NO bonus. We got a $12 steak dinner. The company's projected profit for the year is between 7-10 million bucks. Are bonuses of this nature tax deductible for the owner/employer?

wutamess · 12-15-2004, 05:53 PM

My wife get's a week's pay added to the next paycheck.

I didn't get a bonus but me getting a promotion and a different position in a different department was/is all the bonus I need.

Plus the good news that I'm expecting my 3rd now in August.
Yes the 2nd one is only 8 months but I think I'm well on my way to becoming omish.(sp?)

Anyone ever have that feeling that life is going too well? I just sit and think that something's bound to happen soon to take a turn for the worse.

We usually get goodies from some of our supplier/vendors, and one of them has come through so far. A couple of them usually give us awesome spreads of snacks, but I'm still waiting...and holding their invoices to be paid until the goods arrive.

On the bonus front, I give myself a bonus at the end of the year if we have a good year, and we had a very good year in 2004. It'll be nice.

At the risk of sounding sappy, though, the thing that excites me most is being able to give nice bonuses to our employees when we have a good year. Last year was great, and we really surprised and delighted some people with great bonuses, which was a really nice feeling. Hopefully it'll be the same situation this year.

**Iowanian** · 12-15-2004, 06:03 PM

wait.......I did get a bonus today.

This morning we all got an email that said basically "Some crazy meth-head says he's coming to your place of employment to shoot everyone, watch out"

That would practically ruin "bring in stuff to make you fat" Friday.

Taco John · 12-15-2004, 06:17 PM

I'll just say, I got a pretty cool bonus. Sorry to read that so many people did not this season. Well, except for the Bush supporters... You guys are to blame. I keed! I keed! I don't really believe that...

God bless and happy holidays to all...

BigOlChiefsfan · 12-15-2004, 06:21 PM

Got a $200 bonus this week, totally unexpected. Ran out and bought myself a bottle of Van Winkle Family Reserve Bourbon and put the remainder into the fund for a new Ruger P345.

Handguns and high dollar whiskey, now that's how to spend a bonus. Too bad there aren't any whorehouses nearby.

Make sure to let your employer know that you're using your bonus on handguns and whiskey. It'll help ensure that you get good bonuses in future years, too.

BigOlChiefsfan · 12-15-2004, 06:39 PM

Yep, it will. We already discussed it, he's buying some of the same whiskey. Different handgun, tho.

**Nzoner** · 12-15-2004, 06:41 PM

We're treating our employees and clients to a dinner theatre tomorrow night including prime rib and a Christmas play with some drawings for free stuff during the intermission.

Our employees will also receive a few more things next week including a gift certificate to a local butcher shop.
