kalle1212 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 How many people get holiday bonuses from their bosses and whats the most you ever got? I got a nice watch last year but I would have rather had the money! My housecleaning gigs usually give me an extra weeks pay and my boss at the pizzeria I work at has varied greatly in all my years with him. Ive gotten a gas card one year, nothing one year and usually lately 50 bucks.
ajburlingame Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I have only received a Christmas bonus at one job in my whole life. It was several years ago and was $500.00 minus taxes. It was so exciting and a huge surprise. A few months later, they went belly up. (I would rather skip the bonus and keep the job, than to have that happen again)
karatekid39209 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I work for a small computer networking company. but our clients are large corperations like Bell, and Ford so we usually get a bonus of about 1,500 because as I said its a small company. Only 12 people. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
dealluvr Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 LOL i got my holiday bone us ,err bonus in july when i was laid off!
kdblev Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 My hubby's company gives everyone turkeys but he gets his real bonus in the summer. weird. but hey, as long as he gets one i don't mind :)
JazzMama Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 We get a week's pay and a smoked ham and turkey usually. The best year was when business was booming: we got a week's pay, a $100 gc to Dillards, 2 movie passes, the ham and turkey, and a $25 gc to Hastings.
MKeener101 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 My husband is a truck driver. He works for one of the largest carriers and they give them 25 GC for walmart. Years before that we got nothing so I am not complaining:)
starshine Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 We just got 25 to P&C last night for Thanksgiving. We get Jack for Christmas. They call the stupid party they through the bonus. We don't even go!
msomnipotent Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 My husband is considered a self-employed contractor, so he sits there and watches everyone get their bonus. I feel for him. But he does get to go to the holiday party and they have raffles there. Come to think of it, he might not even be entered in the raffles. He has never won anything.
missyjane Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 We usually get a $100 gc to Walmart as a present and then the managers get a bonus. Mine are usually $500 - this year I hope it's a little more since I got a promotion. I've seen her give away $5000 before.
alimfp Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 DH shouldn't get anything as far as we know. He gets regular bonuses every three months (though his next one isn't until mid-January). I'm glad he got a new job though, his old job stopped giving raises five years ago and the only "bonus" was if you won a prize at their Christmas party.
erh12275 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I am a SAHM so I don't get one. Dunno if hubby will...my guess would be NOT. He used to get an extra paycheck from his job in IL. Was so great...paid for almost half of Christmas. As for me the best I have gotten was a $600 bonus check. But it wasn't an actual bonus I had to earn it by selling VIP's...and it just happened to come at Christmas.
Kandy Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 we have gotten turkey's or hams ..but thats about it
Mommie2one Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 My husband gets a substancial bonus. Its called the end of the year/Holiday bonus. Hes management and the heads of the company give him his bonus. Usually runs $3-5000. Needless to say, all bills are caught up with in December
magickallight Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I work for myself and am TOO cheap to give myself a bonus this year - LoL! But... I AM giving myself Black Friday off! Teee, heee
Rebirth Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 No bonuses whatsosever. My old job gave $50 to part-timers and $100 to full-timers and a few extra goodies.
treasure60 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Hubby will get from his company sent to him in this week check a bonus of $500. or about after taxes. Then each department will give out g/c at the company Christmas party to each of it's employees. Plus we get a turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas. When I was working at one place I got $700 each year and then last year when I was working my boss gave me $500. and a remote starter for my car, $50. Applebee's g/c. He only had 3 of us working for him in the Chiropractic office.
daworths8 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 My husband will get his anniversary check when he goes back from Thanksgiving break (this is pretty much his alloted check for vacation days next year they get paid in advance) Then he recieves a weeks pay bonus a week or 2 b4 Christmas. Also his company has a holiday party HUGE EVENT, and kids get to get pics taken with Santa and go into a toy tent and pick whatever they want, they do it at all holidays ITS GREAT, maybe the last one tho since his companys owner is retiring and someone else is buying out the whole company at 1st of the year
JBKing Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I got a 12 month membership to the Jelly of the Month club one time. I can't complain at all, but we used to get our bonus a week or two before Christmas. Now it is in January after all the financials are in for the previous year. At least still in time before the bills show up!
motoXmom Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 When I worked outside the home I was only at the job for app 4 months at the time the Christmas bonuses were given out. Actually I wasn't even entitled to get one since I was so new but they gave me $1500. I was really shocked and they asked everyone not to tell anyone else what you got. It was based on how hard you worked and things like that, so some people got less while others got more.
tootsieroll23 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I got a 12 month membership to the Jelly of the Month club one time. That's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.
