Do you get a Christmas bonus?
 

I just got a pretty decent Christmas bonus that I was not expecting. So I am wondering how many of you get those. If not, did you used to get one?

Nope never got one.

Yup.

We have a regular quarterly bonus system, of which one is in December. The size depends on how well the company did the previous quarter. It could be zero, or it could be large.

Yep... But it's MINE!!!

Oh shit, no it's not! GDI!!

We used to get annual bonuses and they'd also give us a couple hundred bucks for XMas but that stopped years ago. I doubt we'll see them again here.

no Christmas bonus but a very nice annual bonus tied to business results and indivdual effort to help achieve results.

It is big enough I don't need a Christmas bonus

That is the gift that keeps on giving.

Nope...work in education.

However, I do consider the 3 weeks off at christmas a "bonus"! :)

1 weeks pay.

Yeah that is pretty sweet, especially if you get paid for it.

We just approved ours.

The damn things are expensive. This is the first year where I've been part of deciding what it will be and had full knowledge of our expenses, etc... and as it turns out we're going to drop 1/3 of a payroll period on these bonuses. And that's with none of our part-time staff getting one (just the full-time staff).

I was the asshole in the room trying to dial them back a bit. For a small business, dropping $15K just for grins is a hell of a hit, especially when we also spend another 10K on the annual Christmas party.

Oh well. It was over my objection, but I still get one. So by God, I'm getting my damn Beretta.

Nope. We get an annual bonus right around Thanksgiving though.

I use to. It's been about 3 years since ive seen one. It's hard enough just to pay the bills at the shop, let alone any bonuses.
