I got the following:
2 - $10 gift certificates for a grocery store. $25 cash We get a free lunch on Tuesday. I also get a 4 day weekend with 2 days paid. The first 3 items are all paid for from a fund. This fund is filled from the profits of the vending machines in our plant. Needless to say my company is cheap. My stepdaughter works at Petsmart and she got a christmas tree ornament with her name and the year on it. I guess I should be happy for mine. |

Is America in recession?
I have just given my 1st year apprentice £100 bonus and £50 of tools for Christmas, and around here that is considered tight.

I must say that I am very pleased to even have a job this year.... that's all the bonus I need.
We haven't had a party or a bonus for three years now, but I'd rather the company spend the money paying bills than doing something frivolous. Bills paid = company afloat = my job. ~~Michelle

The Grinch stole Christmas
Friday (12-19-03) afternoon, I received a call from the lead mech. eng'r. on the project. He has been at the jobsite in Boulder, CO; and I am at the office, just outside Phila. He told me that the project manager wants me and the lead process eng'r. off the project on Jan. 2nd. I guess we're too expensive for the project manager's taste.
The lead ME also gave me 5 additional things to "get done" by Jan. 2nd. After I did an analaysis of the additional work load and discussed it with him; we both agreed that my last day on this project will be Jan. 9, 2004. Now I must find another project to work on. So I guess I got 'grinched' for Christmas.... Bah Humbug !

Lucky me
I was ALLOWED to take leave for 30 days to be with my family. I am very thankful that I can spend the holidays with them. AS for a bonus.. plz... no such thing in the military. I guess a bonus would be not being deployed right before the holidays.

So, Job #1- $25 card to Safeway- new owner of health care facility. We went from non-profit to "for profit". I have heard that the new owner may be next on 60 minutes for medicare fraud.......
oh well. Job #2 (because of uncertainty of job #1) $25 to Fred Meyers. pretty good deal because I am per diem, and really don't expect anything working in health care (at least at a company level) The good thing about job 2 is that they are union- and pay at double time for holidays- therefore I volunteer for all the holidays there, get paid for being off at job 1 and get double time at job 2. The downside is that I am scheduled every day. The upside is that if you work everyday, it is harder to spend money. I still succeed in spending what I make +10%. If it is good enough for Uncle Sam-it must be OK for me! 2 jobs - 2 kids - 2 svx's - 1 wife- life is good...... |

Update
Well, I ended up getting a kinda Christmas present from the co. I didn't know when I started, but my co. gives us $50 L.L.Bean gift certs for every 500 safe hours we have. I got my first one last week. Any guesses what I used it for?
