Anyone get a Christmas bonus at work this year?

[JBC77]

I work for a small firm, they sprung a bonus on us today with 1K checks. Shocker......because we didn't get shit last year. Real surprise...

Anyone else work at a generous company this Christmas?

Buddy of mine, works at Pratt & Whitney (aircraft engines) got one for a little over 2k few days ago. I hear a lot of companies are cutting them out, changing to performance based bonuses.

Sensitive issue. I need to give Christmas bonusses and find it always difficult to decide how much goes to whom.

I can understand that. If you issue bonuses of different amounts you run the risk of angering some employees. There is an unwritten rule that you don't discuss salary or bonus at work. But today I could hear chatter, "hey, did you get a bonus? how much." Ended up being the talk of the office....

No, but bowmans gave me a free $10 in my account.... goes that count?

Nothing for me, I had 11 jobs this year

9 out of 11 I was set up and fired.

Golidilocks, economists refer to your current situation as frictional unemployment. Don't worry though....lots of Americans suffer your exact ailment.

You wouldn't happen to have a 401k plan would you?

The government isn't in the habit of giving out bonuses.

That's because members of congress and their benefactors steal that money up front.

The Costa Rica goverment implemented many many years ago a 13th month policy for ALL employees. If you worked a full year with a company you must add up all your monthly checks (12 as max) and then divide them by 12 ... whatever total you get after this ... the company that you work for must compensate you with that cash. So it is a very good gesture from the Goverment enforcing Companies to compensate their employees. Cant argue on that!!
