Christmas bonuses . . . .

Company had same margins as last year but more employees so our profit sharing percentages were down across the board. Additionally, they decided to move our fiscal year from end of November to February so they decided to do a 70/30 payout, with the first portion being paid out a week ago and the last one in March (meaning we get paid 4 quarters' worth of bonus for 5 quarters' worth of work). Overall, I was much more profitable this year to my company than last year, but my total bonus stayed the same at around 17.5% of my overall salary. I know a lot of people don't get holiday bonuses and will say I shouldn't complain, but for our firm, a good portion of our overall compensation is based upon performance bonuses, and as a whole, our company is not anywhere near to being in dire straits.
 
My manager gave me a $50 Amazon gift card but that's not something I'd really consider a bonus. More of a Christmas gift.

I still have my job though and I like what I do, get paid decent and enjoy the people I work with for the most part, so that's something I suppose.

Sounds like it's time to get cousin Billy Bob to fire up the RV and go kidnap the company president and make him do some explaining to your family! 🙁

Cousin billy's busy, wanna help me out instead compuwiz? 😛 If the company VP forks over money, I'll buy the beer. :beer:
 
About 200 bucks. Considering i was with them for only 4 months and signed a permanent contract 1 month ago says a lot to how great they are.
 
Jack Shit. But then again, I don't get sick time, vacation time, or health benefits either. Hurray for being a temp. At least I have a paycheck though...
 
Found out this morning,I get to keep my job, signed the retention letter and saw the new schedule.

Unfortunately,I didn't get my family much for Christmas, as I didn't know my status till this morning and I feel bad now for having to have them worried during christmas week🙁
 
We get monthly performance bonuses but no Christmas specific one, plus the boss is Jewish. There was a cheap lunch, cheap alcohol, but I got a chance to chat up some judges that I may be in front of soon.

oh and I found out my boss actually thinks I am a good addition to the firm so I get to keep my job. In my few months there I have seen people cursed out and canned their first week. :Q
