Negative. I too work for an all Jewish company too now Prey.

I guess the X800 I just bought counts. I'm so lovin that card.

Tough, Prey, you should neither expect nor plan around getting a Christmas bonus.

Bastid · Post by **Bastid** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 6:50 am

yep, unless they tell you otherwise...Burke is right
but $50 is better than nothing and you just started there...who knows, it may get bigger with time *shrug*

The most I ever got was like 200 bucks and the pain I endured with this job wasn't worth it. The fact that they tax your Xmas bonus is pure bs. Keep your fvcken bonus, just get off my back lol.

Yup, they took us out to a big fancy dinner too.

Last year I got a case of the cheapest swamp pi$$, chit through the eye of a needle beer.
This year I opted for early layoff so I wouldn't have to tell them to shove it up their million dollar a$$ and get myself fired.

wee96 · Post by **wee96** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 9:08 am

We dont get anything this year. Management are a bunch of losers.

Rainbow · Post by **Rainbow** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 9:27 am

Yep...from both jobs a nice bonus

fastchevy · Post by **fastchevy** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 10:32 am

Grimson · Post by **Grimson** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 10:52 am

I'm moving to a new dept with a $4 an hour raise and all holidays off, does that count ??

Blisster · Post by **Blisster** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:39 pm

I'd be surprised if I got a bonus this yer, only been working for the company for a few months. would be nice though

EvilAngel · Post by **EvilAngel** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:42 pm

I ussually get 75 bucks, who knows what I'll get this year. If I get it, it's a plus if not, no biggie.

CableDude · Post by **CableDude** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:45 pm

Nope never do. Unless the company Christmas dinner is the bonus.

You're right, as large as the company I work for is, I shouldn't expect it, can only hope though!

Good point, all the techs got the same bonus though, so I guess I don't feel too bad!

$100
$50 Gift card
Christmas Party with lots of giveaways and prime Rib dinner.

All pale compared to this year's promotion and raise!

Lefty · Post by **Lefty** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 5:36 pm

In reality when you get to play with a systems that fires real ammo, the bonus is the pay

loop2kil · Post by **loop2kil** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 8:42 pm

Fedex is pretty good to me...should be getting about $2k this quarter. Not sure if this would actually qualify as a Christmas bonus, since its really just a quarterly bonus. But considering the timing, i do.

CableDude · Post by **CableDude** » Mon Dec 13, 2004 9:44 pm

It seems my idiot co-workers aren't enthralled with the place they work for either. Only a few went to the christmas party dinner whatever.
