Military?

I been in the Coast Guard 9 years now. every year for they send we 10 minute phone card. I guess thats alot when you consider the number of military people there are. Although, for those calling family from Iraq it works out to about 30 seconds of phone time.

Hmm, I get $400 bucks every year for my bonus + I'm on salary so I get paid the same for all the long weekends. Glad I could make everyone feel better.

We used to get an X-mas bonus here at our call center.

Now we get a single meal of predetermined size (small).

I also work the 25th, 26th (boxing day where all the stores sell remaining stock CHEAP!) and Jan 1.

I chose to work those days for the extra money...that's MY bonus that will help pay for my tranny.

Our company does not give Christmas Bonuses or Presents. We get our annual Christmas party.

We usually get 1/2 day off for Christmas Eve (which, I don't think I've ever gotten to leave for that half day), and Christmas day off. This year, we started getting the full Christmas eve off, and Christmas day. However, since Christmas fell on Thursday, they were kind enough to switch the full Christmas Eve day to Friday, and give us a half day on Christmas Eve.

In my 31 year career, this is the first company I've ever worked for that doesn't give Chrismas bonuses.

Christmas bonus??? What's THAT?

Good god people, get down on your hands and knees and say HALLELUJAH if you get a banana from the boss at Christmas!

Seriously, us state govt. workers don't get any sort of bonus. If we want a Christmas Party we put it on and pay for it.

Of course during the year, leave policy is fairly liberal compared to private sector and we get all the federal holidays plus one or two state ones - so I guess it works out.
We also have the "incremental pay" bonus once a year - which is $50 for each year of service worked. Not too bad when you get up to 20 years or so.

But a Christmas BONUS?????

*uncontrollable laughter*

bonus? what's that?

I didn't get a bonus either. Seems that I've never gotten a christmas bonus since I've been working. I did get a jar of candy from my current supervisor. Even though the company I work for is HUGE, and we've brought in close to a million dollars for them within the last six months, there was no christmas party.

Then again, I'm happy to just have a job as six months ago I was laid off. Think if it this way guys.....it could be worse and you couldn't have a job and not afford even a roof over your heads for Christmas or any other day for that matter. Be thankful that you at least have something as many others wish that they had even a fraction of what you do......

Adam,
I remember those days. When I was the "rookie" and the only single guy, on staff, I got to fill in for everyone else. I once ran 26 hours straight so that everyone else could have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off.
