Don't know if that's a professional ad or not, but that logo surrounded by a square white image is fugly.

Let these ATOTers show off their e-penises. Some might actually be making 6 figures and get big ass bonuses, but most are asshat rejects. I'd rather be a borderline lower class living dude who has friends and is generally liked. Than a borderline healthy social misfit.

but that's just me.

I'm pretty sure you're not well liked around here, so you might as well go for the cash.

I agree! Where do these people get off waking up in the morning, putting up with the commute, dealing with crumby people all day long just to come home tired and still have to cook, clean and finally post on AT? The nerve!

This. If you're unemployed, what's your lazy ass doing at home surfing ATOT instead of looking for a job? :)

It's not that easy to get a job these days. You're competing with thousands of people that are more qualified than you are.

I feel bad for those who are out of work these days.

With that said, it's great to be employed and getting a bonus!

Oh I know it's a tough market out there. I'm just pointing out that I'm sure he'll have a better chance of finding a job if he gets off ATOT :D

I meant with real people, in real life, I couldn't care any less what idiots on an off forum topic think of me. In fact, with how most people on here act. I'm glad they don't like me, these aren't the type of people I'd want as friends. I have a girlfriend and drinking/poker buddies. I'm good in the friends department.

OHNOES! ATOT PEOPLE DON'T LIKE MEEEE!!!!

I am scheduled to receive a $3,500 bonus as part of my initial sign on package because I just recently started work here. They agreed to pay it at 90 days so that falls right in at the middle of January which is nice because I should be receiving my tax refund as well.

CRXican, you didn't need to post this thread. Most of us here understand that it is incredibly tacky to post your Christmas bonus, just like it's tacky to post your raise or how much you make a year.

Doubtful, one of the best poker players in the world is black, and a good number of the top 20 are asian. The people I play with are mostly Spanish and black, the only white one besides me is a blacks dudes wife.

More people will brag/post about bonuses now that you showed a public temper tantrum about it.

Personally I'd be cautious what I say about the currently unemployed, karma can be a serious b!tch.

I know most of ATOT is gainfully employed making at least six figures, but some of us don't have jobs.

Enough with the "I wanna brag about my job and my bonus" threads

I would say go get a job but that's genuinely hard these days.

I would still say STFU though, are we supposed to walk around on thin ice and not share our happiness?
