Do you get a Christmas bonus where you work? I just found out today that the job I just started doesn't give one. :(

We don't get a bonus, but we do get 2 weeks paid vacation during the holidays. Seems like a fair trade.

I have two jobs, one of them gives a (monetary) bonus, the other does not.

The job that does not give a monetary bonus does, however, set out candy and cookies and all kinds of things about a week before and a week after Christmas. Plus, the week after Christmas is very laid back. Not as good as a bonus, but better than nothing.

It's the end of the year here, and things are hectic. I don't get XMas bonus, I do however receive a bonus every month. :D

Yes, should be a couple thousand. The company didn't do too well this year.

No, but they added an extra weekly cash bonus to my commission for this month

We also had prizes, cash, gift cards etc... at the xmas party but I won nothing

I work in a small, huband/wife owned shop. They usually give us $50-$100 every year. I'm not complaining!

No, but we get a pretty good year end bonus. Our group got a bottle of wine from the boss today though. Now I just need a corkscrew...

$2000 Bonus
$2000/yr Raise

and to top it off, our cell phones are now being paid for by the company.

I love my job.

Yup! Our company gives you a christmas bonus the day before Thanksgiving and it is based off of years of service. They pay you [one month pay * (.10 * years of service)] but it maxes out at 5 years of service (50% of a months pay)

So if you make $3,000 a month and have been here for 5 years your Christmas bonus would be $1,500.

I love my job.

last year i got a $2000 bonus and a $3000/yr raise. i wonder what kind of raise i'll get this year. another $3k would be nice but I have a feeling it will be lower, possibly significantly lower.
