well if they give a christmas bonus then they are showing a

religious preference thus opening themselves to a possible

frivolous lawsuit so to be political correct they must

discontinue such practices

In the 80's One company I worked for handed out cases of 21 year old scotch or a mixed case of European wines, Tickets to the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, complete with airfare and accomodations at Ceasers and a cash bonus...

No wonder I had a drinking problem...

I've worked for the same place for over 28 years now. I've never gotten a christmas bonus. I work for a communications firm, oh well....

I think it's great that you've gotten one though. That's so nice.

Our usual $$$ bonus. It's always appreciated, but I do understand the OP's comment, cuz you don't WANT to expect it, but it's hard not to get used to it if you've had it before...

sorry bout the knife set :wink:

I made my boss 2 mil this year. Cheap bastard gave me nothing. So I had one of my hot buddies seduce my bosses wife, sleep with her and give her herpes. Thanks for nothing you cheap wad scrooge. Enjoy spending your entire flight to arizona in the company learjet strapped to the commode from the visine I put in your coffee. And when you're done pukin and crappin and you go to brush your teeth just remember I wiped my crack with your toothbrush. Merry christmas you cheap schmuck! Ha ha ha ha. Just kidding. My boss gave me a rubber band and a paperclip!

Gift certificate for $20 for grocery store to purchase a holiday meal. A free meal at the job. Cash out of sick time you didn't use during the year. Just found out you can use vacation time if you call in sick,so that you can keep the sick time for the payout. When I drove a truck for a food distributor the drivers got. $200, 2 pairs of Levi's jeans, a very nice double knit shirt with the Co's logo, and a turkey or ham and a half gallon of egg-nog. That was 25 years ago.

The year my boss decided to give his employees frozen turkeys and whisky but no casg bonus was a bad judgement call. Especially when his employees made him 28 million in profits. Everyone except me- I went home- got really drunk and angry and threw all the frozen turkeys through all the windows in the owners mansion. I thought it was funny. Don't want to ask the boss if they are cooking a turkey over the holidays.
