The company I spent most of my career with never gave a Christmas bonus to anyone. I guess they thought retaining you for the next pay period was enough. Before they got all PC, we did have some hellish Christmas parties, however

Since I was laid off in May, I don't even get a paycheck.

Heh, nope.
The coolest gift I got was last year. We gave the GM of Sales (who busted his ass all year long), a 50% bonus, which amounted to about $65K. He did an amazing job for us. After getting the news, the guy took a vacation day, drove from STL to Wichita to thank me in person. He showed up at my office, told me that they had just found out his wife had Breast Cancer, and that the money would go a long way helping out in their process. Not kidding you, we both started crying throughout the conversation. Just a neat experience, and I was glad that we were in a position to reward him for his success, and subsequently help him and his Family out. He earned it, and I got to share in the emotional part of the reward.

No. Giant corporations don't do that sort of thing.

No and I never will. I teach. No bonuses, no perks like phones,
Yes, I get summers off-but I need it after trying to get kids interested in school and breaking up fights with 8th graders that are bigger than me.

I thought we would with the larger than projected increase in sales. Unfortunately we were told today that none of the blue collar employees will get a Christmas bonus. I guess I should consider myself lucky to have a job. But, it sucks when you're expecting a little something extra this time of the year.

Nope, no bonus. One of those 65k bonuses would be nice though
