So is suspicious as to blackrod's former identity on anandtech. So has decided to remain willfully ignorant for his own benefit, and amusement.

LOL.

I'm sure it's not HIM, just an admirer.

Had a company dinner at Ruth's Chris last Sunday and just found out our bonuses are included in tomorrow's paychecks. We get one-week's pay as a bonus so a three week paycheck tomorrow will certainly be well-needed with gift buying to do. I'd be strugglin' this year without it.

So thinks you are probably right, but he remains wary.

diaf for referring to yourself in the 3rd person. Anyway, I didn't get a bonus this year or last, you should be glad you got a bonus at all. Shoot, I'd be very pleased with a $100 bonus. Sure it's not much, but you can at least go out and have a nice dinner for "free" (technically since it was free money)

I'm betting you're yet another identity of the guy playing blackrod.

Why, because I'm a new member? Get real, I'm new to these forums. Usually I browse the everquest 2 forums all day and my guild forums, but I came across AT while doing some research on pc products.

blackrod is in america, blackrod is wondering if pontifex is in another country because blackrod just joined the forums today, and it would not have been possible to ask blackrod questions yesterday.

Should have mentioned if this was merit bonuses or just the free bonus handed out rarely now.

About 80% get bonuses coupled as their compensation. Only about 30% get the typical 'Christmas' bonus.

We all got $1000 this year and last. It's tied to the profits though, if we do not make a profit or the numbers are below a certain threshold the bonus is not paid.

We also get $100 at the annual Cristmas party. Bonus should be about $6000+ but it goes directly into the 401k. After 15 years of bonuses, that has really added up! :D

Yeah, my christmas bonus from work was great.

"Hey, CKM! You get the last week of your winter break chopped off so we can fly you to boston to work, instead. Are we paying you? What? No, no, no. See, we're paying for your hotel room instead. Food? Oh, no. You can cover that. See, so since we're paying for your room, it's like we're paying you. Perfectly logical."
