We get a fancy schmancy Christmas party, every year it's somewhere different and it's very nice but a bunch of us would just prefer the cash :(

If we do get one by some miracle we will only get 100 bucks, that's for those of us on not on salary. A weeks pay would be nice but not happening.
What i don't understand is how they didnt give any last year when the company keeps making profit each year.

They don't call it a bonus, the like to call it incentive pay.
Last year it worked out to about 3 or 4 weeks pay.

And I don't know if I'll be getting one this year.

Dude, if you're getting such a great bonus, why don't you spread the wealth with some of us? A cheery holiday attitude does not count.

Normally, all I get is four hours leave. This year I get 1% of my gross income, which I'm sure will be pittance after they rape.. er... I mean tax it.

I have better chances at receiving a 25% of LCD monitors from the Delf than a Christmas bonus :p

If the Delf shows up at your door call me....you can have the 25% off an LCD.....I'm banging the Delf. The chick Delf in the commercial I saw was pretty damn cute.

we have something called Stakeholders which is like a company performance based incentive payout. The final payout numbers are announced in Dec and we get it in Jan. It can be anywere from 15-40% of the salary for the year. The downside is lots of people quit in Feb.

:D

I would take 1% of my salary, thats better than nothing or 100 dollars that they have given in the past.

I had similar sentiments when I saw the ad. Maybe it's the ears. I don't really feel like boning spock though, so it's probably not.
