What did your company/ job give you for X-Mas?
Boy !! We sure might get a few laughs out of this thread....
I've be with my company (hotel industry) for almost TEN! years now.. Always got a nice little something extra for the holiday/ end of year gift in the past (some may call it a X-Mas Bonus!) EXCEPT THIS YEAR!!.... I GOT A F***ing FRUIT BASKET MAILED TO MY HOME FROM THE COMPANY PRESIDENT!!! NO BONUS?? A FRUIT BASKET?? WHAT THE HELL?? So how many more of you got the ole shaft this year??? I remember in years past we used to give out frozen hams or turkeys to line employees..Mmm that didn't go over too well!  Don't get me wrong though, I know it can be worse!

My place of employment was just purchased by a larger fish this month. As a gesture of good will each employee here will be receiving a ham and a pie.
Mmmm...ham and pie... I hope it's spiral-cut HoneyBaked Ham but I kinda doubt it.  It is better than nothing and that it what I generally expect...nothing. That way I am always pleasantly surprised by the smallest of things and rarely disappointed.

I don't think I've ever gotten any kind of holiday bonus.
But then we get a cut of the profits from the games we make, so I guess I could just not cash those bonus checks until the holidays.  We were given the 26th and the 2nd off...I guess that's something. This is a good holiday bonus story: http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/12/12/off....ap/index.html My company did hold a big, fancy holiday party last night, complete with a very nice catered meal, an awards presentation and then an after-party at a bar afterwards. It was all very nice and we had a great time.

I'd have much rather had this bonus:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/12/15/off....ap/index.html Hmmm...not too far from me. I wonder if I'm related to any of them.

A set of Falken Azenis tires for the XT was what I got. Had to clear out the accounts so that we end the year with zero profit to save being taxed as a company.
Sounds like I made out pretty good. The place I used to work at gave a $50 bonus and a $10 gift card to a supermarket. They used to give out turkeys until they realized that most employees didn't have a need/room for a 18lbs bird.

I hear that all the time!! "At least you get to keep your job"....Give me a damn break!
Really... I'd rather be told that there would not be a Christmas incentive this year than be mailed a bunch or bananas!! Really I think I would be able to accept the fact that there wouldn't be a bonus.. I think I just got slapped in the face with a box-o-fruit! (Thank goodness they didn't send it C.O.D!!) The card should have read: To: Mr. Littell From: Mr: Burns (from the Simpsons!) (I feel so much better after venting!!)

I've got the same thing as I get every year. No bonus, no paid holidays, and an even bigger bill from the IRS.

My boss is a tight bastard and if I am lucky I might get Christmas day off.
(but at least I get to shag the secretary)

Well, I officially get zip. I work in a supermarket, and I didnt get a single bonus. Of course, I've been on sort of a leave of absence for college, but since I'm starting work again next week, I get to work Christmas Eve. Yay for me I guess. Maybe I'll get some sort of profit-sharing since I've worked for over a year now, but I'm not holding my breath.
