I planned on giving out bonuses, but we haven't got paid in over a month, which makes it pretty hard to do

Got $100 gift card to Amazon from my company, and then a 20 pound turkey from the company I'm contracted out to.

Hey, free shit that no one was obligated to give me, I'm not complaining.

31 years at the same job, never got a Christmas bonus. I retired at 51 though. So every day at the range is my bonus.

LOL...what bonus?

Last year, our Christmas Bonus checks were here...in the fucking building...but the General Manager sent them back, had them cancelled and used the money to make our bottom line look better so he'd get a bigger bonus.

To call this guy a cocksucker would be an insult to honest cocksuckers everywhere else.

Salaried....got three salary raises this year though plus two small merit bonuses. I am lucky.

We don't get Christmas bonuses at my employer, but we do get quarterly bonuses. A couple quarters ago the bonus was crap. The last quarter was actually pretty nice.

I'm 10 years in the workforce with the same company and have had multiple jobs with them and never once have we ever gotten a bonus.  They put a bonus plan in last year but the formula ti figure it was like a quadratic equation.  Needless to say no one got one.

never....

we get merit raises in feb... anywhere from 0-2%

Things were a little tight this year.  I cancelled the Christmas bonuses, and gave all my employees a year's subscription to the Jelly-of-the-month club.

I was wondering the same thing. I never have gotten a Christmas bonus at any of my jobs. Sucks.

I got my bonus last week.



Went to the bank.



And it's gone.

$2250 after taxes.

I never expect one.

Last couple of years have been very generous, this year I know things are tight for the owners of the company so I don't expect one.

Co-workers are wailing and crying that they spent an amount equal to last years bonus (on credit) on Christmas in anticipation of getting what they got last year.



ETA: Christmas bonus money = my annual guns and ammo budget.

Same here.    WTH is a Christmas bonus?

I'm just glad they didn't lay more people off at this terribly run giant company I work for.

I've never recieved a Christmas bonus. Actually they want to cut our overtime starting after the first.

Bone-This is more like it.

As a contractor I never did.



Now that I'm a company employee I'll be getting a bonus in the 5 figure range. I really needed this.

I issued Christmas bonuses last night to my employees at our Christmas dinner. After reading a thread about Christmas bonuses, I decided to pay CASH this year vs. a check. Not sure why it matters, but supposedly an envelope stuffed with hundred dollar bills means more than a check in the same amount.

I pay these bonuses because my company is only as good as my people.

At least 15 years no bonuses.
And 0-2.5% raises.

We get bonuses in the first or second quarter, rather than at Christmas.

I was surprised this year. I got a few raises, and small bonuses.


What really surprised me is the Christmas bonus. I got a two weeks pay and an additional cash bonus coming before Christmas pay.



I am blessed, honored and floored. I was just happy to have a job that fed the wife and kid.













Before this year I got 150$ before Christmas pay week and I was ecstatic to get that.










I guess my 7 years are finally paying off. I almost changed jobs in August.




Edit:

I forgot getting off Wed-Fri next week. Also getting Wed and Thursday of next week off.

That is a bigger bonus, spending time with my little girl.

$1739.10 after taxes and 401k withdrawn.
Also received a Honey-Bake Ham gift card for $80.
The money will be used up in the next few days as I have a diseased big tree that has to come down in the front yard and two huge oak trees in the back yard that needs heavy pruning.
I am fortunate to be working for a company that did extremely well in 2014.

Nope, not a dime.

My wife's company had record profits this year and so far she hasn't heard whether this year they'll issue a bonus.

General Motors plant down the street just laid off 450 employees a few weeks ago though so in my area of the country you've got to be happy to just be getting a pay check. It's ridiculous and it leads to a lot of stressed out folks to have such a horrible job market out there right now. It's also lead to frankly a lot of abuses of employees that wouldn't be happening if the job market here was better.
