[dquan97]

My bonus = 4 hours of comp time. :thumbsdown:

[moshquerade]

I work for a hospital. Last year we got a butterball turkey, no shit. This year, haven't heard what the big bonus is going to be. When I worked in private practice we always got a generous monetary bonus for Christmas.

 

[TridenT]

$0 because I DON'T HAS A JAWB DAMUT.

Typically about 3.3%, and not until Jan 1st. Thanks congress!

 

[daw123]

I get about $45K a year and we didn't get a pay rise this year and we won't be getting a Xmas bonus.

 

[SKORPI0]

10% of a weeks pay.

 

[Icepick]

$75 gift card to a grocery store. It's but a pittance but, I'm thankful for anything that is given to me without any obligation to pay it back these days.

 

[Engineer]

Nothing last year and $25 WalMart gift card this year.

Do get my 5% pay cut back starting on Jan. 1 though.

 

[chin311]

yeah but having no boss is like an everyday bonus.

good point lol

i've done it for most my life, so i guess im so accustomed to being self-employed i don't realize a lot of the perks.

 

[bobdole369]

My bonus is that I keep working, and nobody else was fired this year. I got a 5k increase which I shall use to wipe my ass with first raise in 2.5 years and it is barely better than a COL increase. It's honestly an insult considering the jump in responsibility I've taken on.

I'm working exactly 8am-5pm, and not jumping through any hoops or doing anything spectacular next year.

EDIT: COL increase for SSA and DOD employees was 5.9% or so. So I'm actually making less money. Well at least I'm working. I know there are 200 people or so that aren't that are looking for a job that I'm hiring for (my dept) - Because I have 200 resumes to look through.

 

[soulcougher73]

Nada Wish we got bonuses

 

[hiromizu]

Damn. I thought I was doing bad. I usually get about 10k in bonus at year end but I have a feeling this year will be slightly less.

 

[mafia]

Used to be around 5 figures. Has since dropped to the low 4 figures. I'm not expecting anything this year, given the situation.

Wtf? Justification for higher education? Or are you drug dealers?

 

[EMPshockwave82]

250 bucks and a 25lb turkey. Doesn't have to worry as much about how much he had spent on Christmas and he gets a big bird.

 

[hclarkjr]

So we run a company with 4 cofounders, and have one employee earning mid-30s a year, and times have been time for us but we want to give him a bonus. At what point is a bonus "too" low to consider giving him one?

Obviously $10 or something would be insulting, but would there be a minimum amount that makes it "worthwhile"? Or if it's going to be a low amount, say $250 would you prefer a check as abonus or a VISA/AMEX gift card as a gift?

well let me tell you, i just got mine today. been with the company 21 years and got $25 giftcard. how is that for insulting

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

What's a Christmas bonus?

 

[Geekbabe]

Bonus? none, my organization even canceled the recognition celebrations for people who've been with the company 10, 20, 30 or more years.the rational? that it would be a slap in the face to the communities we serve to be holding parties and celebrations when so many are going without. We're lucky to have jobs. Our party will be a potluck that we provide and secret santa.. and a lot of people even opted out from that this year.

 

[GeekDrew]

gov't employee = $0 bonus

 

[Andy22]

Based on my company's year end numbers. I get a percentage of 10% of my salary and it is not capped at 100/10%. If we hit 150%, I get 15%.

 

[fleshconsumed]

I get to keep my job. My dad gets around 10% bonus, if the company is doing well.

Give him one week salary? And please don't use a gift card.

 

[Wellcky]

Nothing.. but I did noticed the foodshelf posters in the lunchroom, seriously!

 

[mztykal]

Nothing, I think I'm lucky to have a job.
