Cool Got my first Christmas bonus!!!

Ever!

$100... I won't be buying a new truck, but this is my 3rd Christmas with this company, and my first bonus. I've never worked anywhere else that gave one...

Not only did we get a bonus, but Monday the boss took us (and significant others) out to dinner at Brioso Brazil (sp), kinda like Fogo de Chao (for those in the big cities). It's an excellent Brazilian steak house. All you can eat meat... about $50 for the meal, plus drinks/dessert...

So, not a bad Christmas... although I'm told I'll be switched over to salary after new years... I've been fighting that for awhile now...

No new pool for you, but good either way. A few bucks and a free dinner. Happy holidays to you!

God I love Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase! Great movie!


Congrats Closer9! A Christmas bonus is always nice... especially when it's unexpected!

When, they passed out the envelopes this morning I was thinking Jello of the month club... or whatever it was he got. "The gift that keeps on giving, year round"...



Merry Christmas y'all!

Getting a bonus is a wonderful Christmas present!

To often and unfortunately to many get the xmas BONE instead!

I love those places. I went in a business trip to Atlanta last summer and they took me to a Brazilian steakhouse for lunch. It was one of the best meals I've ever eaten. I've never heard of one here in Colorado though

I too had my first bonus. The company had an excellent year, we got $100 for every year we have been there. I got $500. They also put 2.2 mil in to the profit sharing plan this year. we only have just over 500 people in the company.

The company i work for is small and doens't have alot of money. We tend to have a nice little party and that's about it. Well, they gave us each $500.00 this year for the extra effort we make everyday. We are a internet company with a tech support staff of 7 techs on a 24 hour clock. Most of us work 12 hour solo shifts.

Always fun times with a small company. I was suprised i got anything for christmas from them.

I also got a sort of bonus as well.
They estimated our time sheets for the week, but we couldnt work on thursday although we were already put down for time.

So they just let us have thursday off but we still got paid (so we basically got a bonus).

Merry X-mas

Christmas bonus always reminds me of the christmas vacation movie.

I usually get 500.00, but got 1500.00 this year. Made me happy.:santa:
